Peggy Guggenheim Museum

I went to the Peggy Guggenheim collection, which is housed in her old home - a palazzo right across from St Mark's. It was a very modest palace, but full of great 20th century paintings and sculptures. I think Peggy was a little mad, but in a good way. She is buried in the sculpture garden. This is a shot from the front, showing a nice Calder piece. It was a very misty morning, as you can see.
