An updated installation of Peggy Guggenheim’s outstanding collection in the unique setting that was once her home awaits both returning and first-time visitors. With works by Edmondo Bacci, Tancredi Parmeggiani, Giuseppe Santomaso, and Emilio Vedova, the museum pays homage to the 1600th anniversary of the founding of Venice through the energetic forms and explosive colors of those who were the protagonists of the Venetian and Italian art scene during the post-World War II period. The sculpture garden is also open with works by Jean Hans Arp in the center of the main courtyard and in dialogue with Alberto Giacometti. 

“We are thrilled to welcome visitors back to the galleries of Palazzo Venier dei Leoni and offer them a little reprieve and beauty,” says Director Karole P.B. Vail.
