Iconic Frank Lloyd Wright building with modern and contemporary art.
"Glide up the Frank Lloyd Wright–designed spiral ramp in Street View-style to view works spanning Impressionism through postwar movements—featuring artists like Cézanne, Kandinsky, and Picasso—while linked online exhibits provide thematic context for the collection without the usual crowds." - Andrea Romano Andrea Romano Andrea Romano is a writer and editor in New York City.

"Presents Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910-1930 and Collection in Focus: Piet Mondrian, showcasing vibrant abstract art."
"The Guggenheim is a radical departure from the typical museum layout—and from every other building in New York, for that matter. The circular concrete structure stands in stark contrast to the rectangular steel-and-glass buildings that surround it. Inside, a central ramp—which spirals upward and outward from one exhibition floor to the next—creates an open interior space, flooded with daylight that pours in through a glass dome. Frank Lloyd Wright designed the iconic building that houses Solomon R. Guggenheim's modern art collection, which includes paintings by Kandinsky, plus works by Picasso, Klee, Miró, and more. If you have time for a meal, head to The Wright, a James Beard Award-winning American bistro on site." - Andrea Whittle, Charlie Hobbs
"A Frank Lloyd Wright–designed architectural icon that serves as an oasis for lovers of contemporary and modern art, notable as much for its building as for the exhibitions within." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.

"An acclaimed art museum that offers pay-as-you-wish hours (notably on Mondays and Saturdays from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.), allowing visitors to see the collection for a minimal suggested contribution." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
