Unlike a lot of other museums, grabbing a free audio tour (yes - free) is worthwhile to learn more about the art. Descriptions are brief in postings if any at all.
Cristian GonzalezAugust 13, 2014Keep an eye out for their great exhibits - amazing museum in an equally amazing building. Take the elevator to the top and then walk on down.- George RanalliApril 5, 2018The Solomon R Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan designed by America’s great architect Frank Lloyd Wright is a treasure and the museum programming is spectacular.
Chris KuzanDecember 20, 2023Nice museum. But it is very important to catch interesting exposition there

Reshad SabedAugust 1, 2015Great engaging place. Good value for money with free audio guide and limited waiting time. Located in museum mile close to the met
- New York HabitatOctober 4, 2011A fantastic art museum with many famous works situated on a unique spiral walkway. When you walk into the main area, look up! It makes for a great photo.
Karl BergerDecember 13, 2018Start at the bottom and spiral up. That is the way the exhibits are curated and the store is at the top.
Olivia FabbroSeptember 30, 2015Best part is the architecture, the art here usually isn't my favorite- I like the moma more but worth seeing if you haven't
Tom CoatesNovember 2, 2017The building is stunning and strongly to be recommended. If you can, go when there’s an exhibition you’re interested in because the main collection is pretty small.
UiruNovember 1, 2014Amazing architecture, wonderful collections by Van Gogh, Cezzane, Gauguin, Monet
EchoDANovember 14, 2011Frank Lloyd Wright - a famous architect designed this, one of the most interesting places to view art work. This space has been transformed in many ways with interesting sculpture. Enjoy the slope!
Bradley CarterJanuary 2, 2012Visit while Maurizio Cattelan's "All" is on display in the rotunda. Great opportunity to a vast collection in one place. Don't forget the free audio guide. Oh, and watch out for the bag police.
Check out the tiny corners of this museum. Most are from international artists which are more interesting than the featured exhibit.
Jason MesiarikAugust 2, 2012Let your children's imagination run wild in the Guggenheim! Both the Thannhauser collection in the permanent galleries and the contemporary exhibitions open up a world of creativity.
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.
Affinia Hotel CollectionJune 13, 2014Designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, The Guggenheim is known for its massive collection of impressionist, post-impressionist and early modern art.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzMay 7, 2017One of the iconic nyc museums, must see. Very unusual sound exhibit worth checking out
Cheen The CuriousJuly 28, 2022Plenty of unisex toilets & water coolers every few steps along the spiral up/down the building
Paul HadfieldJanuary 13, 2017Awesome architecture built around a central helical walkway. Permanent collection well worth spending time on.
MuseumMileNYCMarch 19, 2012Sundays at the Guggenheim are all about the kids. Explore exhibition highlights through creative, interactive projects led by museum educators from 1-4pm. For families with children ages 3–10.
Alan MortonJuly 27, 2017I love this place- however be carful sometimes half close to changed over exhibits
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014Architecturally astounding, and gave me vertigo near the top. Also location for a famous movie shootout. Check the exhibitions though. Some are very dull.
p kSeptember 7, 2017Amazing museum! The exhibits, the atmosphere, its structure...all so perfect. Must visit!
Marie La RueNovember 24, 2018One of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural marvels, visit for the building itself.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Gorgeous building with ongoing contemporary exhibits, make sure to dedicate at least an hour and plan out what you want to see.
Beata YangNovember 30, 2014The restaurant on the ground floor is very good. Also there is a cafe in the museum.
Kamal SekhonMay 26, 2012Can totally skip level 6....I don't know wats to see in stills of city shots...just plain over hyped! The building architecture is the best thing. Also Sinai Guggenheim hospital has gr8 architecture
one of my favorite spots in all of NY. go and go often. every detail accounted for from FLW. no exhibit ever disappoints
Jake PearceAugust 23, 2011Buy yourself a New York City Pass. It is valid for 9 days and makes going to Guggenheim cheaper. It doesn't matter if you don't like modern art the building is unreal - anyone would enjoy it.
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
TrixieApril 30, 2016The architecture rivals the art. With the hidden spaces, it's a fun environment to explore.- Lukasz GMarch 8, 2019If you can don’t leave your coat in the coat room, the wait for drop off might be short but pickup can be much longer!
Torzin SJuly 3, 2015Stunning piece of architecture that almost overshadow its impressive collection inside.
B NashJune 17, 2016Frank Lloyd Wright's postwar jewel. Wright originally intended for Guggenheim visitors to take the elevator up and stroll down the ramps.
Duncan PJSeptember 7, 2014Most beautifully designed building. Come to any exhibition here and you will enjoy it.
Sacha DeclomesnilSeptember 1, 2013This is a gem of an art gallery. Do not hesitate to take the audio guide, even kids will appreciate the tour
Brian HoeftMay 26, 2012As wonderful as the rotunda galleries are for seeing a big show, don't miss the side galleries that often house the Guggenheim's primo permanent collection.
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011The shape of the Guggenheim is a play on a ziggurat, type of ancient Mesopotamian temple that narrowed as it rose. In Frank Lloyd Wright's design, the building widens as it rises.
Philip A. FuscielloSeptember 16, 2016Amazing architectural space designed by a genius. One of a kind. Not to be missed.
AllisonJanuary 2, 2011Definitely start at the top and head down from there - made it a lot easier and less crowded. The audio tour was great and very informative, offering a lot of background on select pieces.
clive kornitzerJanuary 5, 2019Amazing architecture more impressive than the art on show great to walk around
Tiffany & CoJune 1, 2011During its seasonal Art After Dark events, Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic building is electrified with after-hours chic. Have a cocktail while listening to an artist- or curator-selected playlist.
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.
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.
