Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Overview
Frank Lloyd Wright's inverted ziggurat on Fifth Avenue, conceived as a single continuous ramp of art. The founding collection of non-objective painting has grown into Impressionist to contemporary holdings. Opened in 1959, the building itself is the museum's greatest work.
