Peggy Guggenheim Museum, Venice
Guggenheim museum makes great Venice vacation.
For culture vultures on a break in Venice, a trip to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection is surely advised.
With organisers claiming it is the most important museum in Italy for early 20th century American and European art, visitors are sure to see something for them.
Pieces on display at the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni - which is located on the Grand Canal - include early Cubist works by Picasso, in addition to paintings by Max Ernst, Georges Braque and Jackson Pollock.
There is also a sculpture garden featuring statues by Henry Moore and Jean Arp.
Meanwhile, there are a number of temporary exhibitions and one-off cultural events taking place throughout the year.
Visitors can also relax with something to eat or drink in the sculpture garden or in one of the gallery's two terraces, before dropping into the souvenir shop for a reminder of their visit.
Those looking for a greater sense of culture in the Italian city may also wish to consider the Venice International Film and Redentore festivals.
