Peggy Guggenheim Collection, over 388,000 visitors in 2024. And in 2025, an exhibition of Lucio Fontana's ceramics.

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice recorded more than 388,000 admissions during its 313 days of operation in 2024, with a daily average of 1,240 visitors: 75 percent from abroad and 25 percent from Italy. Added to these are more than 6,000 people who visited the collection at openings, institutional, corporate and private events, and more than 10,000 participants in Public Programs, Kids Day, accessibility programs such as Doppio Senso and Io vado al museo, and visits related to the A scuola di Guggenheim project, which this year saw the participation of 230 schools of all levels throughout the Veneto region, with more than 7,280 male and 7,280 female students. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection thus closed out 2024 with a +2.5 percent over 2023.

“We are definitely pleased with the results achieved in this 2024 that has just concluded,” said Director Karole P. B. Vail. “In a year that saw Venice host the Biennale Arte, as well as major art exhibitions organized by the city’s various institutions, our museum recorded excellent visitor numbers, which exceeded expectations. We are thrilled with how critics and the public welcomed the tribute dedicated to Jean Cocteau, an exhibition taken up several times by the New York Times, which included it among the must-see exhibitions in Venice during the Biennale, and now the well-deserved tribute to Marina Apollonio. We are now already hard at work on the year’s exhibition program, which will see Maria Helena Vieira da Silva and Lucio Fontana at the center of two major monographs opening in April and October, respectively. There will of course be no shortage of free collateral activities, Public Programs, accessibility and inclusivity projects, for all audiences and our supporters.”

The exhibition Marina Apollonio. Beyond the Circle, which will remain open until March 3, has already registered more than 75,000 visitors since its opening. And there is already great anticipation for the solo exhibition Maria Helena Vieira da Silva. Anatomy of a Space, scheduled for April 12. Through a selection of about seventy works from prestigious international museums, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Tate Modern in London, as well as major galleries, including Jeanne Bucher Jaeger in Paris, and private collections, the exhibition will offer an in-depth look at the evolution of the visual language of Vieira da Silva, a Portuguese artist naturalized French citizen, with the intention of highlighting his ability to transform pictorial space into abstract environments and optical illusions. A tribute to Lucio Fontana will follow in the fall, Mani-fattura: the ceramics of Lucio Fontana, an exhibition devoted exclusively to the ceramic works of the celebrated 20th-century artist.
