The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is a modern art museum founded in 1937. The museum moved to its current location in 1959.
The main part of the building, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, has a very unusual shape that has become a landmark tourist attraction in itself!
The viewing gallery forms a spiral from the ground level up to the top of the building and also in viewing rooms found at stages along the way.
