Guggenheim Museum Tourist Guide - New York City

The world famous Guggenheim Museum is located in Manhattan, New York, and is a modern art museum that was founded in 1937. A hugely popular museum amongst both visitors to New York and residents of the city, the museum was originally founded to exhibit avant garde artwork, and was once called the Museum of Non-Objective Painting. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the museum is conveniently located at the corner of 89th Street and Fifth Avenue, and is easy to get to.

Those that are into the arts will be delighted with a trip to the Guggenheim Museum, and those into architecture will also find this to be a fascinating attraction. The architecture of the building makes it stand out from the crowd in Manhattan, and for some the actual building itself is even more fascinating than the work and exhibits that can be found within the Guggenheim.

Once you enter the museum you can enjoy a treat in terms of fine exhibitions. You will find artwork displayed along the walls of the spiraling viewing gallery, and you will also find special exhibition rooms along the way, which also house a variety of artwork displays for visitors to enjoy. You will find an array of specialist exhibitions that change throughout the year, so be sure to check and see what's on if you are looking to enjoy a particular event or exhibition.

You can also enjoy evenings at the Guggenheim on the first Friday of each month, where visitors can look forward to a visit to the museum after dark and can browse the galleries, take in the artwork, enjoy a drink, and even enjoy the music of a diverse range of DJs. This event goes on until the early hours, and is a great way in which to explore the beauty of the building, enjoy the displays, and have some fun and excitement along the way.
