The Peggy Guggenheim Museum
Peggy Guggenheim was part of the famous and very wealthy Guggenheim family but when her father died on the Titanic she and her mother were not accepted by the Guggenheim family and she left with her mother to go to Europe. During her life she had numerous failed marriage and didn't think she was a good daughter, wife or mother so she dedicated her whole life to art. During her life she created a very famous art collection. In her later years she moved to Venice. When she died her house was turned into a museum where her vast art collection is displayed. She is also buried there with her many dogs.

Piazza San Marco
The Piazza San Marco is the main square in Venice and it is very large compared to any other area in Venice. There are lots of restaurants and art galleries around the sides and many of the restaurants have singers with violins and pianos playing traditional Italian music. There are also TONS of pigeons and if you hold out your hand with bread crumbs they will fly on your arm to eat. We tried it but it was too scary when they came flying at you!
