After being back here after 30 years since its first opening it has been run in a bit by the crowds, it definitely looks smaller being an adult compared coming to see it as a kid but compared to back then the museum had more artists show cased on the floors, now all there is are two in the whole place, the art was definitely subjective, like this was the definition of subjective art ‍♂️ still love the architecture of the building. Good place to go if you want some inspiration of sorts. I'm conflicted about the Guggenheim. On one hand, if you're into architecture, I 100% recommend visiting. The Frank Lloyd Wright building is stunning and super intricate. I was amazed every time I looked up. On the other hand, I visited a few months ago and felt that the array of artists was very poor. It may be different now, and if so, I'm very sorry for misleading anybody, but when I visited, the main exhibits only had art by one artist. It was good art, don't get me wrong, but it did feel a bit sterile. They did have one exhibit that featured other artists (which was the only exhibit I took pictures in, and all of that art was fantastic!), but I still felt that the museum was very lackluster, considering the price. I don't regret going here, but I won't come back.

The Guggenheim Museum in NYC is a magnificent architectural gem housing an impressive collection of modern and contemporary art. Parking can be challenging, so it's advisable to use public transportation or nearby parking garages. While the museum may not have specific activities for kids, they can still appreciate the unique spiral design and interactive exhibits. Tickets can be purchased online to skip the lines. Take your time to explore the exhibits, including works by Picasso, Kandinsky, and Warhol. Consider joining a guided tour for a deeper understanding of the art. Don't miss the stunning views from the top-floor gallery. The Guggenheim is a must-visit for art enthusiasts of all ages, providing a captivating experience that will leave you inspired. It didn't take us much time to finish the whole thing.

The spiral of the museum is gorgeous. This museum exhibits mainly modern art that changes every certain time. Besides it has a permanent exhibition (including some classic and famous painters). I went with a friend who has a yearly pass to museums in NYC, so I entered as a guest. She had to go to the counter, and even being a Saturday morning, there was no queue. The museum doesn't take long, even going a little slow (without taking the elevator). I went during Autumn, in October, and stayed almost 2 weeks in NYC, so before going to this museum, I had already visited many others. Therefore I would recommend this place, only if you enjoy architecture and you have several days in NYC. Outside, just in front, is the Central Park with multiple places to grab something.

Highly recommend visiting this museum if you’re in New York. Thought-provoking and beautiful with a lot of the collection is extremely beautiful and some pieces extremely rare. If you’re in New York you must come visit and also see the architecture of the museum because of the spiral concept. It will you continue to send to the higher levels walking in the spiral. Beware the spiral is a bit tiring because you do feel like you’re constantly standing on the slope as you’re looking at exhibits but in my mind it is definitely worth it. There are breaks for you to break off into the level floors to see certain art collection.

Best Museum in New York City, hands down. And if you are a student, don't forget your I.D. - The museum focuses primarily on one artist at a time and when we went we were able to see the work of GEGO - which was really awesome. The design of the museum is as artistic as the artist that is being featured as well. We also dined at the cafe' within the museum - DO NOT GET THE FRUIT CUPS - they grab one and hand them to you, my berries were molded and the coffee tasted burnt. Not the best fooding experience... but the cafe' was relaxing. The art and museum are what give this a 5 star rating, not the cafe.

I visited for the first time and so much enjoyed with the Thannhauser Collection. They got almost the iconic pieces from the famous artists in impressionism period. You could understand the impressionism and artist’s signature within this visit. Compliment to sales staff in gift shop, her name is Daisy. She is generous and be able to explain me for some reason the exhbition, even it is permant collection, are rotated in every 6 months. So you might not be able to see every pieces since I asked her that some pieces that I saw in postcard in giftshop but I dont see it in exhibition. With her explaination also I bought the poster from Degas. Thank you Daisy!

The spiral section of the museum was under renovation to update the exhibits. We still had access to the 2nd floor which has its permanent exhibits. We were absolutely thrilled to see such prominent artists such as Monet, Picasso, and many more. Quite small a collection compared to some of the larger museums like the Met, but still impressive and lovely. The other two floors had I believe experimental Korean art themes, was also very impressive. Overall this was a beautiful museum, the building itself is a work of art. Friendly and helpful staff, complimentary coat check. Would recommend and go again to see what the spiral section has to offer!

Who hasn't heard the modern spiral steps, gorgeous white wall, and the beautiful selection of the art of Guggenheim? I was glad that I finally came to this attractive museum. I was actually surprised how inadequately they have maintained the museum building outside. The exhibition hall was adequate but nothing really special. Actually, I would give more praise to our local Amon Carter museum in Fort Worth than Guggenheim. Don't give me wrong. The experience was unique, but it didn't meet or exceed my expectations. Just like almost everything else in New York City, too much hype.

I have mixed feelings about my visit. The place is so gorgeous and so famous that's worth visiting. But when we've been there, many of the galleries were confused, so there were only 3 exhibition happening - and one of them was very repetitive. Anyway, if you've never been there and you are an art lover, you can have a different opinion. But if you need to choose a single museum in New York City to visit, I would recommend another one - like the MET.

I recently visited the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and was very impressed with its unique design. The spiraling stairs were a particularly beautiful feature, although unfortunately I was only able to see some of it due to painting work being done. I was able to experience the current exhibitions of "Only The Young" and "Going Dark", which were both very interesting. The cafe inside is quite small but clean, and the entire museum can be seen in less than two hours if all areas were open. Overall, I recommend visiting this museum if you have the chance.

In all the years I have been visiting Manhattan, I had never visited the world renowned Guggenheim Museum. A friend an client treated me to admission on her Birthday. How cool is that?! The staff people with whom we interacted were very friendly, professional and helpful. Incidentally, on Saturdays, one can pay what they wish. Those pay-what-you-wish tickets are sold on Saturdays from 5-8PM, but arriving by no later than 4PM is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Guggenheim is a vibe. The building's architecture is absolutely gorgeous and worth visiting. They also have really well curated shows and I've never been disappointed. Plan your visit for at least 4 hours and experience the entire place. The current show features artists Gego and Sarah size. Tip: They also have pay as you wish hours every Saturday evening from 5-7:45pm . Just book your tickets in a week in advance.

No doubt an amazing architectural piece by Wright, as well, the artist selection making the visit a great experience. The permanent exhibition with few old masters pieces like from Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, .. gets never boring. Easily can kill half a day there. The highlight this month was the work from Sarah Sze. Love it and can recommend it to see it while it is still on.

We went to the Guggenheim Museum as holder of the New York Pass. It was no problem and we had no waiting time. Still there were quite some people inside. The building is a blast as many may know it from movies. There is a fixed exhibition (Thannhauser) that we like quite a lot. The main exhibition changes every 6 months. The specific exhibition you have to check. Anyway, we think it is a must to go there. Staff is nice. Thanks a lot!

This was my first time at the Guggenheim. I really enjoyed it and I’m not typically a museum person. They had an exhibit about “Going Dark” which was different. The most interesting thing was the walk up resorts the tops. I thought the spiral of the building added more to the experience of walking around and looking at artwork.

The best thing about this museum is the architecture of the building. Art is subjective and I have to say the displays they have are not what I prefer. The best section of the museum is the display of Picasso paintings and other works by impressionist artists like Degas and Monet.

The architecture itself is Guggenheim's best asset. Loved the Korean experimental art exhibition here and i can see that they're trying to do new things. As far as the other collections though, 4 stars overall. Good but not anything super special compared to other nyc art institutions.

My husband and I visited a couple months ago and had a really enjoyable time. There was no wait time to get in and it wasn't too busy. The only thing I was bummed about was that they were doing renovations to the main part (the spiral) so it was off limits. Again, lovely art here and a must visit for any art lover.

It is not only for people who live artworks, but also an awesome place for people who love architecture and geometric. I really enjoyed my time walking and checking every delicate details in the structure. A bit feeling like go into a whole different world, a different and sophisticated era when immersed in this powerful architecture. More

We loved the building as art. Walking the spiral was relaxing. A snack bar area about two thirds up provided a nice rest. The current DARK show was a little sad and grim from reality of racist invisibility, but well done and needing representation.

Look at the architecture! It’s a masterpiece! Truly spectacular! Cost 30 bucks to get it which is steep. But if you are a big fan of architecture it’s worth it!!! Inside you will find unique modern arts!

My visit to the Guggenheim Museum was a memorable and enriching experience. The combination of exceptional art, breathtaking architecture and atmosphere made it an unforgettable journey through artistic expression. I look forward to returning and immersing myself in the museum's ever-evolving artistry. More

An amazing building and laid out in a perfect way so you aren’t going in and out of different rooms, it’s just a nice flow around. Art is art and whilst some might not have been my taste it’s great to see different things. A very tasty Turkey Reuben at not a silly price. More

The architecture alone makes it worth a visit, but the Guggenheim's ticket admission seems too pricey for its small collection. Consider your budget before exploring this iconic site.

Admission is reduced while changing exhibitions. Certain galleries are closed. So the admission fee reduced to $16 (regularly $30) temporalrily. - Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s–1970s and Thannhauser Collections are being exhibited currently.

Went this past Sunday and it was a bit crowded, which made sense given how intriguing the exhibits were. If you haven’t already been to this museum, it’s a must to go see! The suggested donation is $10, feel free to donate more for a good cause ☺️ More

I enjoyed taking the elevator to the top and then slowly walking down! Also download the Bloomberg Connect App to enjoy the audio tour too. There’s guest WiFi that’s super fast and the cafe is on the 3rd floor! Also free coat check near the entrance

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is an absolute masterpiece of art and architecture. Located in the heart of New York City, this iconic museum offers an unparalleled experience for art lovers and cultural enthusiasts.

Beautiful building which seems to have the entire museum pretty much dedicated to one artist at time from what I could see. A little bit on the pricey side for entrance ($27 per person) but worth a visit.

The museum collection is small but very interesting. Won't take more than 1 hour and a half to cover.

Amazing building. Amazing art. Definitely worth a visit. Staff were lovely too. No wait booking in advance on a Thursday lunchtime. More

Great iconic building. Especially if you're into starchitects. This new york city museum is by the legendary frank llyod Wright.

I must see if you’re visiting New York, the museum by itself is amazing. it has been my fourth visit and it didn’t disappoint

The building itself is a great piece of art that you explore and admire as you go through it looking at the art pieces.
