The 20th-century artwork displayed on the gently inclining white walls of the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum often take second place to the building's landmark Frank Lloyd Wright design.
The great architect's last work is an uplifting sight, from both outside and within, and a thorough restoration program was completed in 2008. Unwinding like a coil of white ribbon, the exhibition space spirals upwards around a central skylight.
As well as hosting changing exhibitions of photographs and paintings, the Guggenheim's permanent collection includes works by Gauguin, Picasso, van Gogh, Monet, and other early Modern masters.

Great value, picked up my pass at 7:30am and hit the ground running. Saw the Statue of Liberty, Museum of Sex and Empire State Building all before lunch. After lunch i saw the MoMA, Guggenheim and Metropolitan. Took a nap, went to dinner and ended my night with a beautiful night time view of the city from Top of the Rock. If you can't move at a fast pace or if you're unfamiliar with NYC i would recommend getting a two or three day pass.

Fantastic trip, with surprising extras. We hand't planned to get mixed up with the Wall Street occupiers but it was the only way through to the theatre. Neither had we planned to join the breast cancer awareness walk but we did. The highlight for my wife was the (free) look around the Chrysler Building foyer. The City Pass worked a treat and we would recommend anyone to use it. The only disappointment was that the Guggenheim was offering such a limited view without notice becuase of refurbishment.

On the Upper East Side of Manhattan on Fifth Avenue at 89th Street, the Guggenheim is opposite the huge Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir in Central Park. Rubbing shoulders with such prestigious neighbors as the Met, it’s on an eminently walkable stretch of Fifth Avenue known as Museum Mile.
To get here by subway, take the train to 86th Street.
