A social schedule to spend each day in the company of Peggy Guggenheim


The Peggy Guggenheim Collection offers an articulate weekly social schedule. The director reads excerpts from Grandmother Peggy's autobiography.

For more than three weeks, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection has been continuing on its social channels the dissemination of its content and its story with the intention of reaching a wide and heterogeneous audience.

In addition to the #iorestoacasa campaign, the museum offers an articulated social schedule: #LArteResiste, #MySweetQuarantine, a social project launched by writer and influencer Paolo Stella, which the museum joins with Art Talks, and the international #MuseumFromHome, adopted globally by numerous museum venues.

In addition, each week the public will receive a newsletter, to which you can subscribe for free to stay up-to-date on the activities of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and daily the museum will be present on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn platforms through virtual presentations dedicated to the collection’s masterpieces, short tutorials bringing Kids Day into homes on Sundays at 3 p.m., podcasts on Peggy Guggenheim’s life, and Art Quizzes to keep your mind and your knowledge of art history exercised.

Below is the weekly programming. Starting every Monday with"Did you know that...," a column devoted to little-known anecdotes and trivia about some of the works in the collection or about Peggy Guggenheim, and with"Voice your Choice," where the public will be asked to choose a work from the collection to have the museum tell them about.
Museum interns will offer short Art Talks every Tuesday, video pills to delve into a work and its author, while in the evening the public will be cohosted in Art Quiz on the Instagram account stories: multiple-choice questions dedicated to the history of twentieth-century art. Every Wednesday, the staff will share an image and a thought related to the museum, and in the evening the"Voice your Choice" column will be reintroduced. on Thursdays the interns will return, telling with creative photos their point of view, while in the evening the Art Quiz will be held.
New for Friday: on the museum’s SoundCloud account it will be possible to listen to excerpts in Italian and English fromPeggy Guggenheim’s autobiography, entitled A Life for Art. It will be the director of the Collection, Karole P.B. Vail, as well as Peggy’s granddaughter, who will read the selected excerpts in English.
Every Saturday will delve into the contents related to the Migrating Objects exhibition through images and video interventions by various members of the curatorial committee; finally, Sunday will be dedicated to the youngest with Kids Day: in this way, the educational activity will continue virtually thanks to short tutorials that will allow children to keep their artistic practice alive, starting from the works in the collection.
