Art

Today I have made an effort to leave the hotel in time to get to the Peggy Guggenheim museum before it closes. The museum is very pleasant: no queue and not to big. It was where Peggy Guggenheim lived from 1948 until her death in 1979. She collected modern art and had works by Picasso, Chagal, Man Ray, Jackson Pollark and some other people I've heard of, and some I haven't. A gentle stroll around takes about an hour. This seems a reasonable amount of culture. I generally prefer 20th Century art to the sort of things that Napoleon collected in the Accademia.
