Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum presents modern and contemporary art inside Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark spiral rotunda on Fifth Avenue — one of the twentieth century's most celebrated buildings, opened in 1959 and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Grown from Solomon Guggenheim's collection of nonobjective painting, the museum holds definitive depth in Kandinsky along with major Impressionist, modern, and contemporary works from the Thannhauser collection, and its ramped rotunda exhibitions — descending or ascending a quarter mile of continuous gallery — remain among the singular viewing experiences in art.
