The building of this museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, nowadays is considered as the youngest landmark of New York. The museum itself represents the masterpieces by the most prominent artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. The list of the names includes Brancusi, Braque, Calder, Chagall, Robert Delaunay, Giacometti, Kandinsky, Klee, Leger, Miro, Picasso, and Van Gogh.

The museum is located on the 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 as one of the unique New York’s landmarks.

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

As we already said, there are so many artworks that you should be prepared to spend here 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 — like other New York museums, by the way.
