Guggenheim Museum
1071 Fifth Avenue
New York City NY
212-423-3500

It's a building, it's a sculpture, it's a landmark...it's the great swansong of Frank Lloyd Wright: the Guggenheim Museum.

Though an 'art museum', the Guggenheim Museum is worth a look even if you hate art. Facing Central Park, it looms over the park and yet blends as any statue might - except, of course, it is many times larger.

This continuous circular ramp sits like a coiled spring, ready to pop up into space at any moment. But the view from the inside is even more overwhelming, almost dwarfing the exhibits it is meant to display.

Inside, you walk up this gigantic spiral under a dome which seems to float above the building. Self-guided audio tours are available (and strongly recommended for this museum is huge!).

Works of 19th and 20th Century artists are the principal works on display but there are always many 'temporary' exhibits. So, whether you are there to see Frank Lloyd Wright's work of art - or the works of the many other artists, there is bound to be something of interest.
