A New York City Landmark
Officially known as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (to set it apart from the other Guggenheim museums in Europe and Asia), this museum houses a world renowned collection of art. The building was designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright and is one of New York City's most recognizable landmarks. Visitors to the museum will walk up the gently spiraling levels inside the museum to view the artwork displayed on the walls and in exhibition spaces that branch off the main walkway.
Along with special exhibits and installation art that change regularly, this New York City art museum has a large permanent collection which it exhibits in rotation. The pieces include works by such artists as Cezanne, Dali, Picasso, Van Gogh, Pissarro and Gauguin. The Guggenheim is open year round all week except for Thursdays.
