The Guggenheim Museum's Best Known Works

The Simon R. Guggenheim

Museum was designed

by Frank Lloyd Wright.

"Let Each Man Exercise the
Art He Knows" encircles
the bronze medallion at the
entrance of the Museum.

I look up a column to a

skylight.

The Occulus is 90 feet
above the rotunda.

The "circles" are ramps
with artwork.

Large red wooden crates sit

in a cordoned off area of

the rotunda

The Museum is providing reduced admission while travelling collections are en route.  I'm pleased to save a buck or $5.00.

On to the Thannhauser Art Collection, bequeathed to the Museum by Justin K. Thannhauser and his wife, Hilde.
