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. This being Venice, there are a number of ways to get to the Guggenheim Museum. For example, you could walk, take a gondola right to the museum, or take a Public Ferry on Water Bus Vaporetto Line 1 to say the Salute ACTV stop and then walk to the museum. Enjoy!

This collection is absolutely amazing. It has works of art from world-famous artists, as you would imagine, and they do not disappoint. This year (2023) is the 50th anniversary of Pablo Picasso's death, so it had on display all his paintings (7 that I could count). A highlight is Picasso's "The Poet," which is widely regarded as his best work. Apart from Picasso, the collection features many surrealist, abstract, minimalist, and expressionist artists (ex. Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali), so if you're looking for Venetian Rennasciance art, this is the wrong museum. But if you're looking for the modern masters, this is perfect. The collection also features many amazing painters heavily that aren't as famous as the others, and this acts as a wonderful introduction to them. My one complaint is that in some rooms the light will create a glare on some paintings' display glass, but that doesn't take away much from the experience. Overall, this is a very large museum that you could find yourself staying for hours in, immersed in truly mind-blowing artistic talent.
