Peggy Guggenheim in London: The Making of a Collector

How did Peggy become A Living Work of Art? Before she settled in Venice, Peggy Guggenheim's first gallery was Guggenheim Jeune, active in London between 1938 & 1939, which became a beacon for pioneering artists like Duchamp & Kandinsky. The exhibition focuses on this critical period in the lead-up to World War II.

Imperial Rooms of the Royal Palace in Venice

My favorite Empress, the non-conformist Elisabeth ("Sissi") of Austria, actually lived in Venice for a period of time inside the Royal Palace, which is now the Museo Correr. Thanks to the Comité Français pour la Savegarde de Venise, Sissi's rooms were restored and opened to the public in 2012. The simple, elegant decoration of the rooms goes back to the Hapsberg period, with touches of the Napoleonic age.

Then finally, in July 2022, the other wing of the Royal Apartments opened, allowing the public to see 20 rooms, beautifully restored with the decor of three different dynasties: House of Bonaparte, House of Hapsburg & House of Savoy
