marcus HApril 20, 2017Buy your ticket online and avoid the queue. You pick up your reserved ticket at the information counter.
amNewYorkOctober 4, 2011Home to modern masterpieces, the building itself is a a huge draw too. The iconic spiral building was the final work of 20th-century architect Frank Lloyd Wright, though he died before its completion.
E. S.October 27, 2015One of the grestest pieces of architecture ever. It's a pity they let you take photos only from the ground. Go now to see Burri.
AdamNovember 16, 2015Admission is $25 for adults, $18 for students with valid ID. Pay-What You-Wish on Saturday between 5:45 p.m.–7:45 p.m.
The New YorkerAugust 8, 2013"Imagine this summer’s show at the Guggenheim Museum as air-conditioning for the eye and, if you’re gamely susceptible, the soul." Read more
Chris CooksonJanuary 26, 2012This place is way more expensive than MoMA or The Met (even with student pricing) and has about a tenth their collection, worth going if you are an Architecture buff but pales to its competition
Sam HAugust 7, 2015Check out the Kandinsky and Storylines expo running this summer. This place is so zen it's unreal.
Candice RiveraOctober 30, 2015The building structure is a work of art and then it houses some of the most exciting exhibits!
Bianca LeeDecember 30, 2016By donation Saturday evening. Suggest you get there a little earlier to join the queue.
Robert GeilsJanuary 5, 2014Always go off piste , I really loved the Kandinsky exhibit and a cool BMW effort on Urbanism at th Lab
Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018Gorgeous building with ongoing contemporary exhibits, make sure to dedicate at least an hour.- Julie SosciaJuly 17, 2018Gorgeous building with ongoing contemporary exhibits, make sure to dedicate at least an hour.
Jul PuhMarch 29, 2015Temporary exhibitions aren't so special, but Kandinsky exhibition is all that I needed😍
ShiaApril 1, 2016Wish the main collection area was open the day i visited but kandinsky was enough for me as well☺️
Emilie FuttermanAugust 10, 2015Take your time and think about how the art fits in the space. Great place to sit and meditate for a bit.
Austin BaileyAugust 22, 2014Awesome building just make sure your interested in the exhibit that's currently there, otherwise it can be a bit underwhelming
PleyisApril 19, 2016Beautiful arquitecture, but the exhibitions at that time were not so good. You better get there early to enjoy it better.
Borys PierovNovember 20, 2017One of those cases when a gallery architecture is more remarkable than its content. Permanent collection is rather small.
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.
Tani YeeFebruary 7, 2015pay what you wish Saturday 5:45 to 7:45 pm. Last ticketing at 7:15. The line moves fast!
Rhea GalsimJanuary 16, 2013If you like contemporary art, this is the place for you. Love it! Not sure I like the entrance fee though.
D FFebruary 12, 2015make pictures from outside and choose the gallery. I'm somewhat skeptical about their permanent collection
Get an audio guide! It was great, and it was completely self guided so I could pick what I wanted to listen to!
Jelena BoldtMay 5, 2013Check for museum specials on first weekend of the month? Today if you have a Bank of America credit card, present it and you get in free!
Ashley ReinerMarch 3, 2015Come here to look at some art while you work out your butt walking up the ramps. Better than squats!
Germán BreaAugust 9, 2013Not that good but awesome architecture. I preferred MoMA or MET. Come with NYPass or you will have to make a very long queue on a Friday afternoon on summer.
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.
Phat BuoySeptember 22, 2014Incredible building and a cracking museum. Expect some queuing at the weekend.
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.- hab le hibouMay 9, 2013SO this is my Guggenheim art gallery called Ghourri Smart Art.

Duncan PJSeptember 7, 2014Most beautifully designed building. Come to any exhibition here and you will enjoy it.
Pierre ValadeJuly 27, 2011Everything is interesting here. The building is a great piece of architecture and the exhibitions are usually must-see.
Marques StewartMarch 23, 2013The Supervillian team of Mr. Hyde and Cobra once broke into the Guggenheim to steal toys that were valuable collector's items on behalf of their ally the Jester.
