About

Frank Lloyd Wright's spiralling rotunda on Fifth Avenue, completed in 1959, houses the Guggenheim's founding collection of non-objective and modern art, with deep holdings in Kandinsky, early abstraction and twentieth-century European painting.

Why visit

A cornerstone of New York’s art landscape—prioritize its strongest cross-period fine art, painting, sculpture & works on paper galleries and leave room to look slowly.
