iDesigned 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.

Early 20th-century European avant-garde painting drawn from the collection, with works by Kandinsky, Goncharova, Franz Marc and others who reimagined painting for a rapidly changing world.

A sweeping survey of Pop art from the 1960s to today, with works by Warhol, Lichtenstein, Oldenburg, Hamilton and Chryssa shown alongside a Yayoi Kusama Infinity Mirror Room and recent contemporary acquisitions.

A major new commission premieres never-before-seen photographs, text, video, and sculpture in a single interactive installation spiraling through the entire rotunda.

The museum itself: Frank Lloyd Wright's inverted-ziggurat design, opened in 1959, whose quarter-mile spiral ramp winds up around a luminous central atrium under a domed skylight.

A permanent display of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and early modern masterpieces by Van Gogh, Cezanne, Picasso, Manet and Degas, given to the museum by dealer Justin K. Thannhauser.
