The entire
Peggy Guggenheim Collection is housed in a one-story, former 18th-century palace. While the rooms holding her collection of modern art -- which includes works by Picasso, Ernst, Giacometti, Pollock, and other greats of the 20th century -- are small and can be crowded, the outdoor space is magnificent.
The front of the palazzo features a sculpture garden. Behind the building is a terrace (pictured) overlooking the Grand Canal.
