I dont pretend to know anything about art so cant/wont rattle on and on about how _____s piece was here and how it moved me BUT I think if youre in NY and planning to visit an art museum, why not the Guggenheim? Id say almost anyone is familiar with this iconic building but the design and layout of the building inside is equally quirky. Again, Im not familiar enough with art to comment on any of the collections but enjoyed my time here.

Nice museum but not my favorite. Time admission made it not crowded and everyone died social distancing. Since you have to follow the arrows and walk up the spiral ramp after about 2 hours my back was hurting. Most of the exhibits are on the spiral ramp. Definitely download the app so you can listen to info on some of the pieces.

A great place to experience art. The building itself is a work of art and all of the exhibits are relevant to todays issues and past forcing you to think deeper about society and culture. If you want to just stroll the curve of the building youll still take in a great amount of art. The Guggenheim has Dega, Pacasio, and more. Its not an overwhelming museum but easy to view within an hour or so.

Sweet museum! There’s like, art, EVERYWHERE! I guess the only drawback was that when we went there, there was some sort of deal going where we could get in with not so much fee. So, EVERYONE was there. I counted them. According to my rough (very rough) calculations about 1.2% of the city population was there. But seriously even with so many people it was worth the time and effort. There are classics, new pieces, fun and interesting pieces and some that are challenging and thought provoking.

Their staffs are very expert, knowledgeable, and creative. Perfect place to visit! Highly recommended!

If you’re into architecture and modern art then this place is perfect for you. The outside and inside is amazing. It’s very whimsical. I brought it one star because it’s really not very young kid friendly. It needs to be organized more appropriately for all families regardless of the age of the kid. The cafe needs more food options and at appropriate pricing. Seems a bit pricey for what you get. If you’re a tourist. You can check this out and check out Central Park across the street or Cooper Hewitt Museum a few blocks away. This can all be done in one trip if you don’t mind walking.

Its a very nice museum. You can see the arts everywhere and its fantastic! I learn so much about its history. Will definitely come back!

Audacious architecture. Nice museum.

This museum is very famous for its building. This is interesting building not only its outside but also its inside.The artworks are displayed along the round shape building.You are walking around the circle building and see the artwork displayed along the inside of the wall of the museum.This museum mainly features about seasonal theme,you can see different artworks if you visit after a few month. The security and staff is helpful and friendly.On the other hand, some room in this museum is permanently displayed the famous artwork, just like Picasso. I am little disappointed me because it’s 3-4-5 floors are not opening yet ...

A beautiful building and great collection. The store is very cool!

I really enjoyed the modern abstract art. They had a free one hour tour at 2 pm with a really caring guide where we could try drawing some of the things we saw and ask questions. Beautiful pieces and food collections.

Gorgeous open space. The building itself is a work of art. Open spacious galleries and the current installation is fascinating.

The building is extremely beautiful, inside and outside. Theres a libary with books about all different kind of artists. The museum is full of amazing work. There was a very big line for the last exhibit from Basquiat.

Always a joy to visit the Guggenheim ! The exhibits constantly change. And the space itself is used in an artsy way. Plus, it’s right by Central Park.

Amazing building with a collection that’s is a must when you’re in NY.

LOVE THIS PLACE. Very convenient since you just follow the building to the top and then go back down. Careful cause the better and less crowded shop is halfway up.

Obviously great architecture but the exhibits are not the best. Informative main exhibit, shallow side exhibits

Always some interesting art installation to admire,beautiful building outside and inside

Gorgeous open space. The building itself is a work of art. Open spacious galleries and the current installation is fascinating.

The beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright building, the spiral staircase and the Impressionist Hall the searing photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe were my favorite parts of the museum. The Basquiat section was closed unfortunately so that means another trip is in order. I love the MoMA and Met more but that Mapplethorpe exhibition is mind numbing, sobering and fascinating all at one.

Just not enough to see here, not worth the visit if from out of town. Stick to the met and moma. The building is nice but not enough art on display.

The current exhibition wasnt really art, on the lower floor it was more of a mural curtain, its called: Countryside, The Future. The side rooms were more interesting for me. Countryside the future is an exhibition addressing urgent environmental, political, and socioeconomic issues through the lens of architect and urbanist Rem Koolhaas and Samir Bantal, Director of AMO, the think tank of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). A unique exhibition for the Guggenheim Museum, Countryside, The Future will explore radical changes in the rural, remote, and wild territories collectively identified here as “countryside,” or the 98% of the Earth’s surface not occupied by cities, with a full rotunda installation premised on original research. The project presents investigations by AMO, Koolhaas, with students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design; the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing; Wageningen University, Netherlands; and the University of Nairobi. The exhibition will examine the modern conception of leisure, large-scale planning by political forces, climate change, migration, human and nonhuman ecosystems, market-driven preservation, artificial and organic coexistence, and other forms of radical experimentation that are altering landscapes across the world.

A lot of leftwing propaganda and odd art. The exterior of the building itself is far more interesting than anything inside.

I live in Miami, Florida. I travelled to New York specifically to visit The Guggenheim. I saw so many beautiful works of art. I truly enjoyed the exhibit that was highlighting the work of Mapplethorpe. The stores have amazing merchandise. The staff is helpful. The architecture of the building is breathtaking. I cant wait to go back!

The museum itself is unique due to it’s shape and design. They offer a free coat check in the main level. The museum has seven levels and special exhibitions are presented on various levels. Walking up the rotunda got me dizzy, therefore, we decided to take the elevator to the 6th floor and walk our way down. We got to the museum at around 12pm, it was a great time because it wasn’t so crowded. He had a chance to view every piece of art without any wait. Restrooms are available throughout the museum. Although, the museum has a lot to offer, I only rated this museum a 3, because of the personnel. Some employees were rude and condescending.

I visited the Guggenheim museum as part of my CityPass. I am going to be honest it is a nice museum, but isn’t the best in the city. For people who don’t have much time, I recommend to go to MET. For the same price you see a lot more. The building is amazing and so photogenic. I enjoyed their permanent collection. For those who buy the ticket on the door it cost $25.

This is definitively one of the best art museums in New York. Its awesome architecture, drawn by the famous Frank Lloyd Wright, is a part of art history in its own, spectacular both outside and inside. It is one of the iconic buildings of New York. They always have great exhibitions, and is a must see when in New York.

Amazing pieces of art which achieve a modern understanding of emotion and character. A must see when in New York and when new collection at in place.A side from the modern art. The building has great architectural significance and imagination which have captured the eyes of any visitor. The building is unique it its design and a bold statement from its time if its construction in 1959 and established in 1939.

A once in a lifetime experience, everyone should go here at least once in their life!

Fantastic museum mainly of modern art. Very interesting building and very good souvenir shop. Certain day a week Pay as you wish ( Saturday from 5-8 pm)

Well worth the price. The architecture is as interesting as the art and installations

An amazing place to visit. The Guggenheim museum building itself is a very interesting structure. Then you have all the amazing art pieces inside. You can see the entire place in a couple of hours, so go and enjoy.

A landmark work of 20th-century architecture designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The cylindrical building, wider at the top than at the bottom, was conceived as a temple of the spirit. Its unique ramp gallery extends up from ground level in a long, continuous spiral along the outer edges of the building to end just under the ceiling skylight. The building underwent extensive expansion and renovations in 1992 when an adjoining tower was built, and from 2005 to 2008.

The Guggenheim is a good time. It features a variety of classic cultural artistic images and artifacts with some collectable cools. Every couple months they switch it up to provide an intellectual range of artsy representations with creative designs. The structure of the building winds upwards as you explore each featured exposition. The staff arent nearly as friendly and helpful as they could be, taking off a star here because they gave me a hard time in the ticket line for no reason, but apart from that, coming here has usually been a very positive experience.

Beautiful place with beautiful art. The design of the building alone is breath taking. There was quite a line so come early!

We were not sure about going into the museum and after see it I got a mix of feeling. The building is amazing, and they have good stuff there. I just missed the “before the mirror” of Édouard Manet, when we got there it was gone to another museum, but of course it was not their fault. Kandinsky, Picasso, Pollock... again good stuff.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is one of New York Citys most iconic structures, and has attracted people from all around the world since it was constructed. This example of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture provides a very unique way to view modern and contemporary visual art. With its iconic spiral walkway leading attendees seamlessly from the ground to top floor.

Very famous museum with a modern and characteristic structure, made up of many overlapping circles. Its impossible not to visit, too bad that when I was there (April 2019) with a booked visit, no one had warned that most of the museum was inaccessible due to maintenance work and, for this reason, we could only visit a very small area!

If you are an art enthusiast and you are in New York City , do not forget to visit this place. Right from the look of the building , to the way the exhibits are kept , there is something unique about this place. In case you need the audio guide , pls approach the kiosk , submit your govt photo ID like a state ID or drivers license , and get it for free. They will return you the ID when you return the audio tour guide. Passports are not acceptrd for this purpose. At each level there is an unisex toilet and water dispenser.

Had a great time in here! The top shop queens had me smiling and laughing. Fun working down the ramp from the top too thanks to the tips from or man from the check-in. I will definitely go back.

I really like this as an exhibition space on the whole. I love the overall design idea of the building and the way it spirals up. An amazing architectural achievement.We did get a little lost once or twice, having ventured into a side room, but luckily we found a friendly staff member /security guard to point us in the right direction.I havent marked it 5 stars for two reasons.*The wall spiralling up on the inside of the building and forming a barrier to the open central hall below, was too low. Im average height and it felt too low to be safe for me, let alone my 6 4 tall husband and the man we found staying fearfully close to the outer wall for safety, not daring to get too close to the massive drop below. As art is often viewed by people walking steadily backward to find the best perspective, it feels like an accident waiting to happen.* I was surprised to find that I couldnt quite make out what I was looking at in one of the pieces of art, due to lightbulb reflections! This seems a remarkable oversight for such a prestigious place with the sole purpose of displaying artwork!That said, I loved that there was a whole section dedicated to childrens artwork and I enjoyed much of the main collection.The cafeteria has almond milk for coffee! (Just thought Id mention that as its such a treat for me to be able to enjoy a coffee out and about. I got the impression during my brief stay, that this is commonly available in NYC.)

Beautiful - both the building itself and the art inside. they are currently setting up a new exhibit, so tickets are discounted (only about two floors are open), but if you come back when the new section is opened, you can pay the rest of your ticket and visit it then. pretty cool

Very cool museum. Just for the building it’s worth a visit. Don’t forget to take advantage of the Pay what you want Saturday’s from 5-8pm.

It was interesting and I enjoyed walking through the museum but not interested in coming back. This is my opinion and I am sure others enjoyed the Museum a lot more than me. If you havent seen it, please check it out for yourself. Its not a waste of time.

Always the best love the architecture and collections..location perfect too

Iconic Art Deco building with many very well known artworks. I attended the recent Jean Michel Basquiat exhibition. It is a superb Art Gallery! (Photos taken on iPad 6th Generation)

One of my favourite museums. The architecture is amazing. The rotundas are so well-designed and the art pieces of the permanent collection is great! There is Free Audio available and theres a free tour at 2pm.It does get crowded during the weekend so Id say go as early as you can. On Saturday, its pay what you wish after 5:45pm so if you decide to do that, be prepared to wait in line for quite some time. The line, when I left the museum at 6pm, went around the block! It is worth every dollar though.

One of the best museums New York has to offer. The art starts when you gaze upon the architecture of one of the masters, Frank Lloyd Wright. It cost $25 to enter. If you want to go for a cheaper price, go after 5pm on Saturday when the tickets are $10.

Well worth the visit! Evening time was perfect, avoided most of the crowds

It was my first time visiting Guggenheim museum. The spiral in spacious, futuristic architecture building design. Located next to Central Park in Manhattan. The design of the building pathways take you through the top in a spiral direction. Amazing display of talented artists, sculptures and photographers. There is a cafe on the third floor also designed in a spiral style. Sunday noon was a perfect visit with not being overcrowded.

There are few modern art museums with so much variety across eras than the Guggenheim. A great collection that frequently rotates, and the building itself is remarkable from an architectural standpoint.We went as the museum was almost closing and they let us check it out for about 30minutes for free. Definitely go inside if you have a moment, it’s right across from Central Park in the Upper East Side.

Stunning architecture allows for a different kind of way to display and showcase artwork. Definitely unlike any other museum I have visited! Saturdays from 5-8 pay what you want to visit- cant go wrong there...but be prepared for a long line up if you opt for a visit during this time!

Great place to view modern art. The museum is very manageable to do in about 2 -3 hours. Nice little cafe with great view of the park halfway through.

Lots of space and good mix of art, politics, and current issues.

One of the most unusual and avant-garde museums in New York offering visitors the work of the most famous masters of culture and art from around the world.The Guggenheim Museum today is located within the Museum Mile of New York, on Fifth Avenue.The Guggenheim Museum is relatively young, it was founded in 1937, but despite this today it contains a colossal collection of contemporary art.

My 1st time visiting the Guggenheim and it was a pleasant experience. This museum isnt as over-whelming as The Met and the Philadelphia Museum of art with the endless maze of rooms. Even someone who loves art like me can feel like the bigger museums are too much. And of course the architecture is cool, too.

Spiral was closed for staff to setup next show so only had limited galleries open but price reduced to $16. Cash only today to make it extra painful for their customers. Lol still enjoyed.

Good museum. There was some anti-China propaganda on the top floor.

Staff seemed less than excited to be there. Card machines were down when I visited (there are no ATMs inside the museum and not many conveniently located bank branches nearby)Odd bathroom situation (lots of single occupancy bathrooms peppered in less than obvious locations)The elevator doesn’t go up to the top floor!Cool gift shop though!

I am glad that we discovered this place

Very funny museum, everything is interactive! We had a great time there.

Incredible space and atmosphere.Yes, it was busy due to my visit being in peak season. Yet for how busy it was, the fluid ramp and architecture of the building let me experience the work and enjoy the details that Frank had left behind with this architectural marvel.Loved the gugg. Love Frank.

The architecture of this place by itself totally worth a visit..it is amazing. If you’re on a budget you can come here during pay what you want Saturdays..we arrived about 17.15 and the queue was not as big as you would think. Definitely not like visiting the MoMA during free Uniqlo Friday night. Totally recommend when in NYC!

Must I go into detail? The Guggenheim is a masterfully designed building filled with the most incredible art. Two hours exploring this wondrous place was not enough and I already am looking forward to my next visit.

A great FLW building housing an interesting collection of modern art. The Wright cafe is great for a nice lunch.

I love modern art , it always amazes me how a lot of this is called art.

It’s beautiful, the physical spectrum is very pleasing.Tons of art to please your eyes.

This museum has a great deal of class. The free digital guide is a wonderful way to experience all of the collections here. The two gift shops are rather small and contain the usual museum trinkets. I would be nice if the museum had a classy place to grab a bite. Sadly, you have to leave the museum to grab so bite.

I have always loved the Guggenheim. Theres a great selection of art. I would, however, recommend buying a ticket online and coming early as the lines can get long.

I feel like this one place is more famous for the building that the art per say. Has a good collection of art. But I feel like people go here more for the building.

It is a wonderful placeAlways full of great peaces of art with a fabulous gift store with good prices.I’ve been to the museum several times and it is one of my favorites inNYCMy advise is to get tickets online so you avoid the longer queues

This museum was AMAZING!!! it was everything I expected and more. The staff is very responsive in answering any questions you might have about the museum. The coat and backpack check in is incredible because you can be totally free of carrying unnecessary things and enjoy the museum. I also loved that they provide a complimentary device that explains the art around the museum depending on your location. The museum shop was also really cool there so many interesting books and more. I will be coming back many more times. The architecture of the building alone is fantastic.

An art gallery that is a must to visit on a trip to NYC so it is quite busy. Gallery itself is a work of art architecturally from the outside as well as inside. Its in the form of a spiral walkway from the bottom to the top, with some side galleries and a cafe to visit. Unisex Loos/restrooms are located on every floor. Paintings and sculptures adorn the walls. We were fortunate to see an exhibition of the work of Basquiat.

Frank Lloyd Wrights last iconic masterpiece is worth seeing. Its also free/ donate what you want..Saturdays from 5P

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and I absolutely loved it! The architecture is beautiful and the artwork is amazing! Truly incredible, Frank Lloyd Wright did a beautiful job designing this building

Always a pleasure to visit the Guggenheim. The current exhibit is a great one to see. Seeing the building and experience is a plus.

Its the effin NYC Guggenheim. Its great. Everyday. All the time. Its a cultural institution. Just effin go.

It was my first visit to this longed for museum, and it didnt disappoint. What an amazing space, and the current show, six artists allowed to go into the collection and choose works that fit their theme, brilliant. I haunt the museums in the communities I live in, and Id be here so often if I lived here! Is there a membership that comes with plane ticket and hotel fare?

What even needs to be said? Its an institution of Modern Art. The architecture is beautiful and the space is a joy to experience in person. The collection is beautiful and the Mapplethorpe exhibition thats currently running is introspective and adventurous. Even had a pretty good burger at the Wright restaurant in the museum! A must-visit for art enthusiasts if youre in New York.

One of the best places that we visited in New York and it was worth every minute we spent there. Such an amazing building, which elaborated the art that was displayed. No doubt people love this place and cant stop coming back! I know we would!

I wanted to visit this museum because Id seen it in movies - it was worth the trip. The art is amazing and arranged in creative ways. Being able to see the other floors as you continue through the museum gives a new perspective around every corner.The 3rd floor cafe is a good place to stop and enjoy a beverage and snack.The outdoor food vendors offer many meal choices!

A fun museum to visit because of its unique architecture. The spiral rotunda is a work of art in itself, thanks to Frank Lloyd Wright. Extensive collection of modern art, some permanent - check website for current exhibits.

I enjoy my visits here every time. It’s not overwhelming like Met or Moma and the way it’s constructed it’s very comfortable to walk and enjoy modern art (if you like modern art, of course). Takes about 1,5-2 hours.

The Guggenheim is one of those iconic New York museums. Renowned for not only the exhibits and art work on display but for the buildings architecture.

The architecture of the building is unique, of course, and you can learn all about it on one of the free guided tours. There is enough variety in the art work displayed that, although the museum is not large, everyone should be able to find something they like.One thing I personally didnt like was that the restrooms were all unisex, and they always seemed to be occupied, so you had to keep searching for an empty one.

We absolutely loved this museum. Looks exciting from the outside and just gets better when you go in. It is breathtaking. The exhibits were well worth viewing. An extraordinary layout which made the viewing spectacular. I would highly recommend this museum.

The Guggenheim is right across from Central Park. It’s architecture is definitely one of a kind. Some of the rooms are very intimate so you can take your time viewing the pieces of artwork displayed. Restrooms are conveniently located on every level. The gift shop is amazing. Don’t know what to buy that special someone...try earrings or socks inspired by an artist.

What a great experience. Core collection is wonderful. Special exhibit on debasement a must see. The current Artistic License exhibits was really interesting too, definitely worth a visit

Ive been trying to check out the Guggenheim for the past few trips Ive taken to NYC and havent been able to make it, but having finally visited, it was well worth the wait. Structurally unique to any museum Ive ever been too, it is a Frank Lloyd Wright architectural masterpiece that works to enhance the experience and viewing of the exhibitions held inside. Ascending or descending, proceeding through the museum is easy, allowing you to focus on the art. As for the collections, they are expertly curated. For the spiral (on my visit, it was Hilma af Klimt), you are progressively taken through the artists work, telling the story of the exhibit procedurally by taking advantage of the layout. With the side wings, they are all little pockets of concentrated material, with greats like Picasso and Kandinsky. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the museum and its a must visit for any museum lover.

I love it!! Went to summer camp there for four years and I’m going again! This museum has beautiful art that is displayed in a nice manner. These are photos from the summer camp.

Just love this place.A must not only for art and architecture lovers. But also for all visitors who wants to get a touch of how the new yorkers spend their time.Recommending the walk also to the lake in the Central park opposite the Guggenheim - you will be rewarded by one of the magical views

We got the city pass to bypass the line, I would definitely recommend this as the line up was very long...however it is free after 6pm so if you need to save a few dollars get there early! We saw the exhibit of Basquiat’s Defacemet, a very real story and well done. If you have a chance the lineup is worth it!

This is an architectural piece. The best way to do it is starting the tour from the top. They have many galleries throughout the tour. Dont do this museum after walking all day! The entrance line was long but I did have a NY Pass and I skip the line.

Museum was so good. The kandisnky were incredible and the Degas was so beautiful. The structure of the building is so original you will be going up to see the art and will end at a six floor.

This is one of the most famous museums in the world and every time I visit I always leave in awe and wonder. It is so easy to navigate; a couple of seating areas and clean single bathrooms on each floor. It is worth the $25 admission and the maneuvering of the crowds. If you live in NYC or just visiting for a few days its a must see.

Your experience will depend on current exhibits. Make sure to check out what is on display in advance. It’s pricy $25, but very fun. Takes about an hour and a half for the whole museum. There’s a cafe and coffee spots around. If you have chase private client, admission is complementary.

Beautifully done museum with nice art in it. If you are on a budget tourist you should go on Saturdays from 5 to 8pm as it is pay what you want entrance fee.
