Guggenheim Museum

Take in the magnificent colors and textures that make up the permanent collections of Guggenheim, such as Peggy Guggenheim, The Thannhauser Collection, The Karl Nierendorf Estate, The Bohen Foundation Gift, the Panza Collection, and others. Visit such special temporary collections as “The Great Upheaval: Modern Art from 1910-1918”, which teaches lessons about history and social psychology in its display of the art that emerged preceding The Great War. “The Deutsche Bank Series: Found in Collection”, another special exhibit, is a multi-media study of the artistic relevance of language and translation and is fascinating even for those who don’t claim to have a love of art.

The Guggenheim is a truly international art house, and while New York is certainly its masthead, the museum also holds collections in Venice, Bilbao, Berlin and Abu Dhabi, allowing the museum a global flavor and keeping it totally relevant and unrivalled in the art world.

The Guggenheim Museum is unique in that it does not subscribe to standard museum layout, which arranges artwork by genre, instead opting to display the art holistically and in a way that does historical justice to the individual pieces and the collection as a whole. Anyone with even a remote interest in art would be remiss to skip this world-famous art institution. You don’t have to travel to Paris to see the works of the great masters—they are right here on display in the cultural hub of the United States, and a visit to the Guggenheim is the perfect opportunity to spend a day reveling in their splendor.
