What to expect

Peggy Guggenheim and Venice go hand in hand. The iconic artist set up shop here in 1949, and went on to take Venice’s already legendary art scene into the stratosphere. On this guided tour, you’ll learn all about her, plus you’ll check out the artwork at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and wander around a part of the Dorsoduro district called the art mile. Elio, one of our expert local guides, says “Peggy Guggenheim could be the protagonist of a fascinating and intriguing novel. Her life was extraordinary, and we’re fortunate that she fell in love with Venice so deeply that she chose it as her home. And what a home it is, truly incredible."

To start, you’ll follow your guide to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a modern art museum that’s rooted on the bank of Venice’s Grand Canal. Here, you’ll hear all about Peggy’s life as you wander around the exhibits, which are stacked with works by big names like Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock and Max Ernst – the latter was her husband. The museum’s in Venice’s Dorsoduro Sestiere, a district that’s known for its artistic flair. When you’re finished in the museum, it’s time to see more of this part of the city.

Sticking with the colourful theme of the tour, the district’s art mile is in the spotlight. You’ll follow your guide along the route, which weaves past eight art museums within Venice that showcase pieces from eight different centuries, including the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
