Village VoiceNovember 21, 2011Winner of Best Museum Store in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! The wrist-slap watch alone nearly overshadows the art.
Kaavish KidwaiJuly 4, 2016Saturday evenings are practically free. The building itself is also a work of art.
Get an audio guide! It was great, and it was completely self guided so I could pick what I wanted to listen to!
Phat BuoySeptember 22, 2014Incredible building and a cracking museum. Expect some queuing at the weekend.
PleyisApril 19, 2016Beautiful arquitecture, but the exhibitions at that time were not so good. You better get there early to enjoy it better.
Austin BaileyAugust 22, 2014Awesome building just make sure your interested in the exhibit that's currently there, otherwise it can be a bit underwhelming
EdwulfJune 22, 2015Expecting more of this, you can make your way in 1.5 hours. Download the app in App Store so you can explore in your own pace
ClaudiaAugust 18, 2012n extension to the museum in 1992, by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, added a ten-story limestone tower behind the original spiral.
Pierre ValadeJuly 27, 2011Everything is interesting here. The building is a great piece of architecture and the exhibitions are usually must-see.
Borys PierovNovember 20, 2017One of those cases when a gallery architecture is more remarkable than its content. Permanent collection is rather small.
The New Yorker ManagerJune 28, 2013Imagine this summer’s James Turrell show "as air-conditioning for the eye and, if you’re gamely susceptible, the soul." Read more
F-Factor NutritionAugust 29, 2012Skip the dinner date and go to the museum instead! Walking around the main staircase here will surely help you burn off a few calories while spending some quality time with your boo...
Rhea GalsimJanuary 16, 2013If you like contemporary art, this is the place for you. Love it! Not sure I like the entrance fee though.
D FFebruary 12, 2015make pictures from outside and choose the gallery. I'm somewhat skeptical about their permanent collection
The TelegraphJuly 3, 2012Current flagship exhibition Art of Another Kind features great European abstract expressionists, from Bourgeois to Vedova (1071 5th Ave, www.guggenheim.org).
Stefanie FeldmanFebruary 8, 2010Art After Dark: First Fridays. The first Friday of every month, go to the Guggenheim Museum to listen to some great music while enjoying their beer and wine bar, you won't regret it... Read more
Daniel Marco FernandezNovember 16, 2016I didn't go in, but the architecture from outside looks beautiful. The one in Bilbao is even more impressive.
JaceJune 7, 2011Start your NY museum trip here. You can get a 9 day pass for all the major museum and tourist destinations.
Joe DLRFebruary 23, 2013Free entrance on Saturdays 515pm to 715pm...but get here early! Wait time now is 45 minutes and it's raining outside
Vittorio BucciMarch 19, 2012One of the best museum in Ny! Buy a book at the store: high quality and "normal" prices
Mike ShermanApril 16, 2017It's 95% exhibit space, make sure to check the exhibits before you pay the high admission.
RazorfishSeptember 19, 2011The building itself is a work to be pondered, but the exhibits are always stimulating and hold true to the museum’s form and intent.
Germán BreaAugust 9, 2013Not that good but awesome architecture. I preferred MoMA or MET. Come with NYPass or you will have to make a very long queue on a Friday afternoon on summer.
Pace GalleryNovember 28, 2011Check out "Surface, Support Process: The 1960s Monochrome" up through Feb. 8, 2012. It includes some truly fantastic pieces such as works by Robert Mangold and Robert Ryman.
BMI EliteApril 22, 2011A must-see for Frank Lloyd Wright fans and contemporary art fans alike. Visit on Friday between 5:45 and 7:45 when admission is free.

Absolutely fantastic performance installation by artist Tino Sehgal. Do not miss this! Start at the mezzanine by speaking to one of the 7 year olds and work your way up the rotunda.
Ian AndersonJune 3, 2016Wow factor architecture the museum almost out does the collection which is hard
Chris HarrisonJuly 10, 2013Show your Bank of America card or account and get free admission. We only had to pay for 2 of our 4 tickets!
Elizabeth LeeOctober 21, 2016Such distinctive architecture that you have to visit it. Still too expensive for me to actually pay admission of $25 though.
Lino Di MaioAugust 23, 2015Impressive structure, not the same for the collection (except for a few artists)
LucySeptember 19, 2012"The Buzz Club, Liverpool, UK" Hope this is part of the permanent exhibition. Fun
Madison FletcherMarch 23, 2011I thought I had missed Kandinsky but I was mistaken. You can find "Several Circles" tucked away off of the spiral with many other beautiful Kandinskys.
Minh NMay 21, 2014Oh dear... A very noisy & overcrowded museum experience..... Great architecture if you like white....
