The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in NYC was designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The Guggenheim Museum first opened in 1939; its body of art was heavily acquired through the acquisition of numerous private collections. In 1990, the Guggenheim was honored as a New York City Landmark. More than 15 years later, it received federal recognition with a designation as a Historic Landmark.

Committed to innovation, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation collects, preserves, and interprets modern and contemporary art and explores ideas across cultures through dynamic curatorial and educational initiatives and collaborations. With its constellation of architecturally and culturally distinct museums, exhibitions, publications, and digital platforms, the foundation engages both local and global audiences.

Part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is an architectural icon that has inspired countless visitors and is widely seen as Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece.
