The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum opened in 1959.  This location brought new culture to the famous museum mile in NYC through modern and contemporary art.  The museum is presented by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and is just one of the many around the world.  The museums among the foundation are recognized for their stunning architecture. The Guggenheim Museum in NYC has a more subtle architectural appeal compared to the others around the world.  Nevertheless, the building takes you on an art frenzy through a downward spiral, starting from the top and ending at the bottom. The Guggenheim has had  many exhibitions that bring other parts of the world, such as Italy, Africa, and Latin America, to NYC.  The Guggenheim museum is perfect to spend a quiet and thoughtful afternoon.
