Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and opened in 1959, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum features modern and contemporary art and is one of New York City's most recognizable buildings. Its proximity to Central Park helped Wright in his attempt to render the plasticity of organic forms in architecture.
Visitors can experience special exhibitions, lectures, performances, film screenings, classes, and daily tours at the Guggenheim. The museum itself is just as important a piece of artwork as many of the paintings on display. Visitors can take an elevator to the top floor and work their way down the gradually sloped winding pathway until they reach the bottom floor. The center of the museum features a large open space where works are sometimes suspended, particularly during special exhibitions.
The Guggenheim is an ever-evolving institution focusing on works from the 20th and beyond. Its permanent collection predates its current building, as many works were acquired from earlier eras as far back as the 1930s when Solomon Guggenheim hosted the museum in his apartment. Examples include early modern masterpieces by Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Paul Gaugin, Claude Monet, and Edouard Manet.
