Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, more popularly known as the Guggenheim, is a world-renowned art museum and one of the twentieth century's most prominent architectural landmarks. The artworks within, which include works by Kandinsky, Picasso, Pollock, Monet, Van Gogh, and Degas, as well as pictures by Mapplethorpe and major surrealist works, are perhaps more famous than the architect Frank Lloyd Wright's conical white spiral. The true appeal, though, is the temporary installations that ascend the much-photographed central Rotunda.

The Guggenheim is a cultural center, a learning institution, and the hub of a global museum network. Special exhibits of modern and contemporary art, artist and critic talks, performances and film screenings, seminars for teenagers and adults, and daily tours of the galleries guided by museum educators are all available to visitors.
