Beth DeanSeptember 11, 2014The collection of art is astounding and the curved structure of the museum makes the viewing fluid, like a never ending stream of artistic expression
Concert Ticket AgencySeptember 14, 2012FLW's masterpiece? You decide. Take the elevator up and work your way down the spiral walkway for optimum experience. odd fun fact: Lady Gaga debuted her FAME fragrance here.
Ryan C.August 28, 2014Great museum with reasonable admission fee. One of the coolest architectures in #NYC.
Marvin HoffmannSeptember 27, 2017Make sure to check the exhibitions in advance. During my visit half of the museum was closed. Admission was reduced, but I would have preferred full price and full museum.
marcus HApril 20, 2017Buy your ticket online and avoid the queue. You pick up your reserved ticket at the information counter.

Sam HAugust 7, 2015Check out the Kandinsky and Storylines expo running this summer. This place is so zen it's unreal.
Bradley CarterJanuary 2, 2012Kandinsky's "The White Border" exhibit is phenomenal. See the process & study pieces that produces the final work. Best collection currently on display at the Guggenheim.
Solomon R. Guggenheim MuseumJune 30, 2011Frank Lloyd Wright originally intended for Guggenheim visitors to take the elevator up and stroll down the ramps. Today, exhibitions are viewed both ways. The choice is yours!
Ashley ReinerMarch 3, 2015Come here to look at some art while you work out your butt walking up the ramps. Better than squats!

Cate HullAugust 7, 2013The turrell & kandinsky exhibitions are great, just don't queue for an hour to see the exhibition on level 6, look at the photo - that's all there is.
ShiaApril 1, 2016Wish the main collection area was open the day i visited but kandinsky was enough for me as well☺️
Candice RiveraOctober 30, 2015The building structure is a work of art and then it houses some of the most exciting exhibits!
CompassApril 24, 2014Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural dream rivals the concept-driven modern art exhibits inside the museum.
Varun ShettyDecember 28, 2012Come for the art and the building. Stay for the surreal experience of New York parents explaining Picasso to 5 year olds.
Giuseppe Zanotti DesignNovember 28, 2011Kandinsky at the Bauhaus, 1922–1933, ongoing exhibition!!! Drawn from the museum's permanent collection, this intimate presentation feat. paintings&works on paper from a prolific period of his career.
SinPlantillaOctober 6, 2013As in all NYC Museums, beware of the guardian dogs. Owners don't let them sit all day. They are fed visitors. They will attack if you stand too close to a painting.
Jessica ToliuszisJanuary 26, 2016Pay what you can night is Saturday. It's worth the wait. Start at the top.
