Surprise (Hollywood) lunch and some cultural stuff
Venice is full of surprises! Today we decided to visit a number of the city's famous cultural offerings – the Peggy Guggenheim Art Collection; the Museum that holds a painting by Hieronymous Bosch; and another that retains a large collection of 17th century art and furniture displayed as in the original home.
