James PantherJune 20, 2017Stop by to admire the architecture and then wander inside to appreciate the art. It's an iconic building.
Cristian GonzalezAugust 13, 2014Keep an eye out for their great exhibits - amazing museum in an equally amazing building. Take the elevator to the top and then walk on down.
Unlike a lot of other museums, grabbing a free audio tour (yes - free) is worthwhile to learn more about the art. Descriptions are brief in postings if any at all.
George RanalliApril 5, 2018The Solomon R Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan designed by America’s great architect Frank Lloyd Wright is a treasure and the museum programming is spectacular.
Reshad SabedAugust 1, 2015Great engaging place. Good value for money with free audio guide and limited waiting time. Located in museum mile close to the met
Tom CoatesNovember 2, 2017The building is stunning and strongly to be recommended. If you can, go when there’s an exhibition you’re interested in because the main collection is pretty small.
Karl BergerDecember 13, 2018Start at the bottom and spiral up. That is the way the exhibits are curated and the store is at the top.
Olivia FabbroSeptember 30, 2015Best part is the architecture, the art here usually isn't my favorite- I like the moma more but worth seeing if you haven't
Bradley CarterJanuary 2, 2012Visit while Maurizio Cattelan's "All" is on display in the rotunda. Great opportunity to a vast collection in one place. Don't forget the free audio guide. Oh, and watch out for the bag police.
New York HabitatOctober 4, 2011A fantastic art museum with many famous works situated on a unique spiral walkway. When you walk into the main area, look up! It makes for a great photo.
UiruNovember 1, 2014Amazing architecture, wonderful collections by Van Gogh, Cezzane, Gauguin, Monet
Check out the tiny corners of this museum. Most are from international artists which are more interesting than the featured exhibit.
Jason MesiarikAugust 2, 2012Let your children's imagination run wild in the Guggenheim! Both the Thannhauser collection in the permanent galleries and the contemporary exhibitions open up a world of creativity.
EchoDANovember 14, 2011Frank Lloyd Wright - a famous architect designed this, one of the most interesting places to view art work. This space has been transformed in many ways with interesting sculpture. Enjoy the slope!
Michael Fox-RabinovitzMay 7, 2017One of the iconic nyc museums, must see. Very unusual sound exhibit worth checking out
Cheen The CuriousJuly 28, 2022Plenty of unisex toilets & water coolers every few steps along the spiral up/down the building
amNewYorkOctober 4, 2011Home to modern masterpieces, the building itself is a a huge draw too. The iconic spiral building was the final work of 20th-century architect Frank Lloyd Wright, though he died before its completion.
Alan MortonJuly 27, 2017I love this place- however be carful sometimes half close to changed over exhibits
Paul HadfieldJanuary 13, 2017Awesome architecture built around a central helical walkway. Permanent collection well worth spending time on.
Affinia Hotel CollectionJune 13, 2014Designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, The Guggenheim is known for its massive collection of impressionist, post-impressionist and early modern art.
Marie La RueNovember 24, 2018One of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural marvels, visit for the building itself.
p kSeptember 7, 2017Amazing museum! The exhibits, the atmosphere, its structure...all so perfect. Must visit!
MuseumMileNYCMarch 19, 2012Sundays at the Guggenheim are all about the kids. Explore exhibition highlights through creative, interactive projects led by museum educators from 1-4pm. For families with children ages 3–10.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Gorgeous building with ongoing contemporary exhibits, make sure to dedicate at least an hour and plan out what you want to see.
Beata YangNovember 30, 2014The restaurant on the ground floor is very good. Also there is a cafe in the museum.
Kamal SekhonMay 26, 2012Can totally skip level 6....I don't know wats to see in stills of city shots...just plain over hyped! The building architecture is the best thing. Also Sinai Guggenheim hospital has gr8 architecture
Chris CooksonJanuary 26, 2012This place is way more expensive than MoMA or The Met (even with student pricing) and has about a tenth their collection, worth going if you are an Architecture buff but pales to its competition
- Lukasz GMarch 8, 2019If you can don’t leave your coat in the coat room, the wait for drop off might be short but pickup can be much longer!
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014Architecturally astounding, and gave me vertigo near the top. Also location for a famous movie shootout. Check the exhibitions though. Some are very dull.
one of my favorite spots in all of NY. go and go often. every detail accounted for from FLW. no exhibit ever disappoints
Torzin SJuly 3, 2015Stunning piece of architecture that almost overshadow its impressive collection inside.
Jake PearceAugust 23, 2011Buy yourself a New York City Pass. It is valid for 9 days and makes going to Guggenheim cheaper. It doesn't matter if you don't like modern art the building is unreal - anyone would enjoy it.
TrixieApril 30, 2016The architecture rivals the art. With the hidden spaces, it's a fun environment to explore.
clive kornitzerJanuary 5, 2019Amazing architecture more impressive than the art on show great to walk around
B NashJune 17, 2016Frank Lloyd Wright's postwar jewel. Wright originally intended for Guggenheim visitors to take the elevator up and stroll down the ramps.
Craig VillamorSeptember 1, 2024The architecture is the main attraction here but you don’t need a $30 ticket to admire it.
Duncan PJSeptember 7, 2014Most beautifully designed building. Come to any exhibition here and you will enjoy it.
EmilianoOctober 27, 2015One of the grestest pieces of architecture ever. It's a pity they let you take photos only from the ground. Go now to see Burri.
Philip A. FuscielloSeptember 16, 2016Amazing architectural space designed by a genius. One of a kind. Not to be missed.
Tiffany & CoJune 1, 2011During its seasonal Art After Dark events, Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic building is electrified with after-hours chic. Have a cocktail while listening to an artist- or curator-selected playlist.
Sacha DeclomesnilSeptember 1, 2013This is a gem of an art gallery. Do not hesitate to take the audio guide, even kids will appreciate the tour
AllisonJanuary 2, 2011Definitely start at the top and head down from there - made it a lot easier and less crowded. The audio tour was great and very informative, offering a lot of background on select pieces.
Brian HoeftMay 26, 2012As wonderful as the rotunda galleries are for seeing a big show, don't miss the side galleries that often house the Guggenheim's primo permanent collection.
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011The shape of the Guggenheim is a play on a ziggurat, type of ancient Mesopotamian temple that narrowed as it rose. In Frank Lloyd Wright's design, the building widens as it rises.
