Peggy Guggenheim Collection

On my last day, for a change of pace, I decided to visit the Peggy Guggenheim (1898-1979) Collection. She first opened a gallery in London in January 1938, moved to New York in October 1942 (in the middle of WW2). "Peggy Guggenheim and her collection played a vital role in the development of America's first art movement of international importance."  In 1949 she bought Palazzo Venier dei Leoni on the Grand Canal in Venice and in 1949 first opened her collection to the public.
