The Guggenheim in NYC 🎨 | A Work of Art Itself 👨🏻‍🎨

The Guggenheim is a museum right by Central Park that’s a piece of art in its own right. Today, I’m exploring this art within art with @WakeUpAndTravelAgain! 🌟 📍 Location: Guggenheim, NYC 🕦 Opening Hours: Daily from 10:30 AM - 5:30 PM 🎫 Admission: Adults $30 / Students & Seniors$19 / Children under 12 Free 🆓 “Pay What You Wish” from 4:00 - 5:30 PM on Mondays & Saturdays. You can get in for just $1! *Online reservation required by 10 AM on the day, limited availability, so book fast! ✨ Architectural Highlights: Designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, it showcases modernism and organic architectural style. The spiral ramp and central glass skylight create a fluid, light-filled space. ⭐️ Spiral Ramp: The main space inside is a continuous rising spiral ramp. I recommend starting from the top and walking down to view the exhibits gradually. ⭐️ Central Glass Skylight: The circular skylight lets in natural light, but unfortunately, it was a cloudy day when I visited, so I didn’t get to see the sunlight streaming in. ⭐️ Non-traditional Floor Design: Unlike typical art galleries with separate rooms, here all the exhibits are displayed on the walls of the spiral ramp or in independent spaces. 🎨 The Collection: 👨🏻‍🎨 Impressionism & Modern Art: Works by Monet, Picasso 👨🏻‍🎨 Geometric and Abstract Art: Kandinsky, Delaunay 👨🏻‍🎨 Futurism & Cubism: Severini 💭 Personal Thoughts | Worth a Visit? ✔ The architecture is worth it! If you’re into architecture, it’s worth a stroll (it’s featured in textbooks, after all). The spiral design is really futuristic, and exploring each space along the rotating path is quite fun! ❌ As an art gallery, I found the flow and range a bit confusing. The spiral ramp is a unique feature, but it can be disorienting when viewing the exhibits, and some of the placements made it easy to lose direction. ✅ I recommend coming once to experience the charm of the architecture, but if you’re here purely for art exhibitions, MoMA and MET might be more satisfying! 📸 Sony RX100 + iPhone 14Pro Max #ContemporaryArtMuseum #ArchitecturalArt #ArtGallery #ArtWithinSight #NYC #Guggenheim #NYCTravel #ExhibitionArchitecture #NYCLife #NYCMuseum
