Guggenheim Museum, New York: Modern Masterpiece

Guggenheim Museum Blue
Sarmax

The Guggenheim Museum is its own main exhibit - the Kandinskys, Picassos, and Mondrians are ornaments on a Frank Lloyd Wright sculpture. After years of controversy and debate, and hundreds of sketches, the museum opened in 1959, six months after Wright’s death. He had boasted his design would make the Metropolitan Museum “look like a Protestant barn.”

The Guggenheim is the perfect museum for lazy art-lovers. Visitors ride the elevator to the top, then stroll down the spiral ramp, admiring the modern and avante-garde art they don’t understand.
