Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and opened in 1959, the Guggenheim is one of the 20th century's most iconic buildings, a continuous spiral ramp coiling around a skylit atrium. Founded in 1939 as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, it holds roughly 8,000 works of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, modern, and contemporary art, with deep holdings of Vasily Kandinsky and the celebrated Thannhauser Collection. The building forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing of Wright's architecture.
