The building of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is considered the youngest landmark in New York. The Museum features masterpieces by the most prominent artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. The list of names includes Brancusi, Braque, Calder, Chagall, Delaunay, Giacometti, Kandinsky, Klee, Leger, Miro, Picasso, and van Gogh, among others.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is located on Fifth Avenue, New York. This street is also known as the Museum Mile. The building grabs the attention at first sight: it has a round shape and looks like a teacup. You’ll see lots of tourists and local inhabitants walking up and down the spiraling ramp. That’s why the building of the Guggenheim Museum is considered one of the unique New York’s landmarks.

Visiting the Guggenheim Museum will be an unforgettable experience, but only if you have a floor plan. The number of artworks exhibited here is really significant, so you may feel a bit overloaded if you try to see all of them in one day. The Museum offers classic group tours and individual self-guided audio tours.

There are so many artworks that you should be prepared to spend in the museum at least one day to explore this unique, unusual building and walk through the halls of the gallery. Our tip is to come here as early as possible — you know, the early bird catches the worm! And one more insider’s life hack: avoid the weekend visits. Saturday and Sunday are the days when the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York is exceptionally overcrowded.
