These are just some examples of one particular Exhibit.
Another "Must Do" on my List is to visit the
"Peggy Guggenheim Collection"
AND fortunately for me, it is located in my "neighborhood" Dorsoduro!
As you might be able to tell, I am a huge fan of Contemporary and Modern Art. What I find so facinating about Venice is that in this Ancient City with all of it's History and throve of Work by the Masters, it is also home to some very significant Contemporary Works.
CIAO!
