Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Many New Yorkers affectionately call the Guggenheim “the fancy parking garage” or “the upside-down wedding cake”. Frank Lloyd Wright would probably have smiled or strongly objected.

Frank Lloyd Wright worked on this design for 16 years, producing more than 700 sketches before the iconic, organic building was finalized.

No one leaves the Guggenheim in a completely “normal” way. The spiral ensures that even the most hurried visitors eventually looks as if they are thoughtfully strolling through a work of art. Intentional? Maybe. Elegant? Definitely.
