Peggy Guggenheim Collection — Attraction in Venice

Might have been the nicest bathroom I’ve ever been to in Italy, a solid 9/10. You might be asking, is this guy really writing a review about the bathroom at one of the most renown modern art exhibits? Yes I am. I can acknowledge it is probably my fault or the fault of my upbringing the only art I can appreciate is a split axial Pratt and Whitney turbine engine or the roaring exhaust of a turbocharged supermoto but I can appreciate a superior bathroom facility. The locking mechanism was effective, the toilet seats were clean, a common municipal sink room led the way to clearly identifiable vacant or not vacant style bathroom doors. Inside my private chamber I proceeded satisfied by the positively identifiable lock action. of the door, one I had not seen before and thoroughly appreciated. Afterwards the hand washing station exceeded my expectations as I was met with ample water pressure, good soap supply, clean white troths, and wait for it…an air dryer that might’ve been powered with the aforementioned turbine engine. I mean this thing literally blew the hair up of the lady across from me. It was violently forceful and I think the soap and water wasn’t even necessary to force every lingering microorganism from my very skin. This was an incredible air dryer and I NEVER use air dryers as most of them are whimpy and pathetic. 9/10 Only a bidet could’ve...

We here saw an amazing collection of 20th century modern art and sculpture including works by Calder, Dali, Ernst, Klee, Magritte, Mondrian, Giacometti, Picasso, Pollock, Rothko and Tobey and the museum is in a beautiful Venetian setting along Venice's Grand Canal.

As well as the main villa itself and the added buildings, the gardens are also beautiful and well maintained. It was lovely walking around the sculpture garden. The terrace is a lovely spot to sit and ponder and the museum cafe, which makes a great coffee, and gift shop with free WiFi are also lovely.

Entry tickets are a little expensive however, definitely worth a visit when you're in Venice. Given the multitude of Renaissance art throughout Italy, the Guggenheim Museum gives one a very pleasant change and experience. A unique gallery, highly recommended.

Tips: It's a small place and gets really busy during peak tourist season so to beat much of the crowd, get there in the morning.

The audio guide is worth the €7 extra.
