I believe I actually spent more time looking at the incredible Frank Lloyd Wright structure (from inside and outside) than I did looking at the current featured exhibition of Kandisky works. Nothing against Kandinsky, but the building is THE reason to visit this museum. It is a work of art, an architectural gem, and not to be missed. My visit... more

A stunning interior with it's slowly rising spiral gallery shows off the art in a very simple but effective way. Some galleries just try and say too much and in the end detract from the art on display - not the Guggenheim NY. Having said that, we did spend quite few minutes just gazing across the hollow centre at the... more

I am a architecture freak so I loved the FLW exhibits naturally. They taught me a ton even after reading about him, and going to his houses. We had already been here, so we skipped the permanent collection, nothing special. Do come here! more

My wife (an artist) and I visited the Guggenheim in May. We were very disappointed paying $18 for a 10 minute visit. Reason was that most of the Museum was closed off in preparation for an exhibition, and the warning about the extent of the closures was not very clear. Lesson learnt : call first (Tel [--]) and ask for... more

Paintings there are great. We bought our ticket in advance and no one told us that the museum is installing new exhibitions so we were able to enjoy only 2 small sections. We finished in 15 minutes the whole museum which was very disappointing. more

Yes, its a beautiful building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. But that is it. We visited the Guggenheim on 28 Apr 09 after travelling all the way from Australia. We were eager to see all the works held by the Gallery of Kandinsky's work. When we arrived, we were completely disapointed, nearly the whole gallery was closed except 2 floors... more

You view the Guggenheim like climbing a corkscrew. The art goes up in a spiral. They only let you take pictures from the lobby. We bypassed crowds with our City Pass and got right in. There were some nice European paintings. The modern stuff I could take or leave. Someof it we wondered why they bothered to even show. I... more

Once again, I took overseas visitors to the Guggenheim to find horrendous queues, and to discover that all but two small galleries were closed. I checked the website before embarking on this trip - no notification whatsoever that the majority of the building was closed. Even the discount admission (we only found out how much after queuing for 20 minutes)... more

If you want to see a really cool building, by all means, go. Aside from that, it wasn't worth the $10 discounted admission price or the 20 minute wait. In fact, I'd have been upset if I'd waited 20 minutes, then gotten in for free. I consider myself a somewhat artistic person (I can draw, paint, I make jewelry, etc).... more
