The Accademia Galleries & Peggy Guggenheim Collection: Private Tour

This visit combines classical and modern art! We'll start at the Accademia Galleries where we will see the evolution of Venetian painting from the primitives to the eighteenth century with particular focus on the great masters of the golden age: Giovanni Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese. The collection also boasts the only Hieronymus Bosch paintings in Italy. We will then head to the Guggenheim Collection. The unfinished eighteenth-century palace became Peggy Guggenheim's home in 1949, where she showed her collection to visitors. On the great collector's death, the collection became part of the Solomon Guggenheim Foundation in New York. It is one of the most important modern art collections in the world. All of the major movements starting from the early twentieth century and the arrival of great American painters are represented. Recently the collection has grown thanks to a sizable donation from the Schulhof family, which expands the panorama of twentieth-century art.
