The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is an art museum located at Manhattan in New York City. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and restored on its 50th birthday in 2009 as it is for its daring temporary art shows, it is the permanent home of a continuously expanding collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern and contemporary art and also features special exhibitions throughout the year.
With its exhibitions of Solomon Guggenheim’s somewhat eccentric art collection, the unusual gallery designed by William Muschenheim at the behest of Hilla Rebay, the foundation’s curator and the museum’s director—provided many visitors with their first encounter with great works by Vasily Kandinsky, as well as works by his followers. The museum’s collection has grown organically, over eight decades, and is founded upon several important private collections, beginning with Solomon R. Guggenheim’s original collection.
The museum is open six days a week except Thursday from 10pm from 5:45pm and ticket pricing starts from $25.
