About
The circular Frank Lloyd Wright-designed building is as much of a draw as the museum's collection of modern art.

The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Upper East Side
Combining quiet residential neighbourhoods that have easy access to Central Park with world-famous cultural institutions, the Upper East Side is one of the most livable places in the city. Along beautiful Fifth Avenue, you’ll find Museum Mile, which houses many of the nation's most famous attractions in a single stretch, like The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum. Walk a few blocks into the neighbourhood, and you’ll come to Park Avenue, the poshest address in the city, lined with grand apartment buildings as far as the eye can see. Even if you can’t afford the luxury goods along Madison Avenue, it’s still a great spot to window shop an afternoon away.

This museum is a gem!
I hadn’t planned to go there, because it’s not a very famous activity when you look for things to do in New York.
Turned out it’s a beautiful, modern, well structured, estoneshing and surprising museum which is worth it!
I recommend it, either you’re an art passionate or not, you’re gonna like it !

Not my thing
Nov 2023 • Family
I found this place very boring. We were in & out in 28 minutes and that included checking our coats, waiting in line for the bathroom and running through 2 gift shops. I guess “art” is not my thing.

I am a fan of architect Frank Lloyd Wright's modernist buildings and couldn't wait to see his design here. The outside structure is very dignified and the interior has a spiral display of levels windings to a huge dome.

Went specifically to see their "Going Dark" exhibit that is on view through April 2024. Best way to describe it is artists conceal the body to create a interest to be seen and an interest to be seen from sight. Located in the rotunda, this exhibit has more than 100 works by 25 artists. The majority of the artists are black and more than half are women.

Going Dark. Korean art exhibit from the 1960-1970s too.
Nov 2023 • Couples
It's good we got here when we did, as they are only open until 6PM today.

Went Dark here at the Gugg for the day.

I do enjoy the flow of this museum up the spiral gradual ramp.

We did want to get a refreshment at the end of the visit, but they blocked it from guests well after 4PM and far enough from closing. It's good there are kiosks selling water and beverages right up front.

I bought a Going Dark cap, several postcards for family and some blank card notes with the New Yorker magazine themed for my brother. Around $60 for entry and another $58 for postcards and a cap.

A unique museum featuring mostly modern art. Houses some famous pieces as well or perhaps on loan.

Great family visit - not too short, not too long
Oct 2023 • Family
Great building - architecture invites you into the building as you progress up the various levels.

For a family it was just about the right length as the 4 of us took between 60 - 90 minutes each to experience everything.

Especially enjoyed the thematic nature, interactive photography (they actually ask you to use them for a couple of the exhibits) and the special Korean exhibition.

Not what I expected.
Oct 2023 • Solo
Guggenheim was 1st of my NYC art museums tour.
Accepted it was undergoing a change in exhibits so everything was not open but I found it disappointing.
It was small. Display spaces were awkward. It is a labyrinth of weird corridors and age was showing in maintenance. Given the other major museums in the area, I’d recommend skipping it.

Fantastic building
Sep 2023 • Couples
Exterior and interior is fantastic and staff very helpful. Mind you we are not so interested in Korean Art from the fifties and onwards so that was a bit of a bummer but the "Thannhauser Collection" was very good.

Avoid - all hype no substance
Sep 2023 • Couples
Worst Art Gallery experience of recent memory. Wheelchair accessibility is woful in one elevator, the spiral was closed (which you only find out at the door) and four tiny rooms of one lower than average exhibition. Biggest disappointment in New York so far. The Art Gallery of South Australia is a thousand times better (and free….)
