Guggenheim Museum New York

Free: Saturdays 5:45pm – 7:45pm

Designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the cylindrical museum building, was conceived as a “temple of the spirit” and is one of the 20th century’s most important architectural landmarks. It is the permanent home many collections of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early modern and contemporary art. Many critics remarked how the museum building overshadows the artwork inside. In any case, on Saturday evenings, when it’s Pay-as-you-wish, it’s a no-brainer to pay Guggenheim Museum a visit.
