Lovely small scale art museum. Unique building and navigation style. As with most modern art, you would go “I think I can do that” on a number of the displays, and “wow, that’s amazing” on the rest. A good spend of about 2 hours. Check your local library for museum passes, and make your tax dollars work!

We got tickets for their Pay-What-You-Want Saturday time and it was so well worth it! I went to the Guggenheim in Bilbao and was so excited to experience the site here. The architecture itself was fascinating. Must go!

What a beautiful building, and a great layout for discovering art exhibitions (in an upward spiral), we caught a Giacometti exhibition and deeply enjoyed the experience.

This is a great place, but it was way to crowded. We went there for the exhibition of Kandinsky. The building itself it’s just awesome ????.

I love this museum and it's architecture. Honestly such sb easy way to view art. I love that plants are inside along with lots of benches too. The only downside. The bathrooms on the 2nd floor... who makes a person mainly a female straddle a toilet. This is where it's bad design and flawed. I do love that the restrooms are unisex though.

Perfect place to enjoy an artistic afternoon! It’s not big, but the collections are in high quality. Also the architecture itself deserves appreciation. I’m very inspired!!

1st visit and amazing experience. Went for the Kandinsky exhibit and was blown away by the Gillian Wearing exhibit. Both were incredible. The building speaks for itself.

Emilie Molkentin

Really nice museum, if only from an architectural standpoint. Everything is on a spiral ramp that goes up and then on each floor there are rooms, which usually host an exhibition. Unlike the other museums, this is the only one that has kept the free offer ticket to enter, which is usually on Saturday from 4pm to 6pm. you still need to reserve your ticket online for free admission as well. It is definitely worth a visit, which lasts 1 hour, 1.5 hours at most.

Modern art isn't my thing but I knew that this was a big place to visit whilst in New York. The building is not my style either and it was packed inside. But, I was pleasantly surprised by the Gillian Wearing : wearing masks exhibit. A English artist who made soft masks of friends and fellow artists and then took portraits wearing them. I found it very striking, including the photos of her as her family members. At first glance you wouldn't notice anything wrong and then at second glance you see it. Very cool! The museum shop is well filled and although I personally didn't like this art style im sure for fans of modern art it's a sure thing. I LOVE IT VERY MUCH. THANKS A LOT. I REALLY MISS IT OUT.......

Super cool building design! I have the Lego model, which is one of my favorite sets. The building is a fascinating mix of futuristic architecture with stark concrete, creating an awesome contrast which works together very well. Even more impressive is the fact that it was built over 80 years ago, and it still has such a captivating appearance while being completely different than the art-deco architecture of the time.

Robert Coleman

The architecture of the building was really nice and it was interesting walking up it. However there was a lack of art inside. There were few display areas and all of it was really empty. Bathrooms are also very cramped and oddly placed. So be prepared or just look from the outside.

The current exhibits include impressive works by Vasily Kandinsky, Jeanne C Jones, Gillian Wearing, and the Thannhauser Collection. The museum does a great job at controlling crowds and allowing visitors to take it all in at a good pace. Tickets (buy online to ensure speedier admissions) for two was $50 and seeing people support the arts, as we regain some sort of normal, was priceless. One of the best Sunday afternoons that we have had in New York City in over 2 years.

Carl Petter Opsahl

I went while they were doing limited exhibitions due to some large scale installation that was going on (they only had 2 out of the 5-6 floors open) but I still had a great time (luckily they reduced admission to $10 during this time). Lots of big/famous names, a great curation of lesser known artists/works + an excellent Lawson exhibit while I was there. Wish I could’ve had a chance to see everything else in their collection - but there will be a next time!

Guggenheim is a must see in New York. The architecture (Frank Lloyd Wright) is unique and breathtaking. The Monument completely stand out ! Very easy to get your ticket, without lining even when crowded. The museum is stunning, we loved getting up with the spiral. And you believe it or not but our kids loved it (7 and 9) ????

Epic! I've always wanted to come here because it is a Frank Lloyd Wright building, it's stunning all on its own, inside and out. But the exhibits were incredible too, and the museum shop was not just a bunch of trinkets, but also items curated to celbrate design and art. In pandemic times, precautions are necessary, but they are clear (wear a mask) and don't disrupt your visit. Across from Central Park and some sweet spots to eat, it was an enjoyable experience before, during and after. Highly recommend!

Terrific museum— a great mix of very recent and slightly older modern and contemporary art. The walk through the rotunda is a great way to explore the exhibits, and the architecture is lovely. The line to get in may go around the block, so advanced reservation is recommended. The queues are well managed, and they move fast. The staff is very helpful and professional.

It's a beautiful, one of a kind building where MIB got filmed! I found out as i walked in. Its a perfect short walk. I saw everything in about an hour and absorbed all that beautiful art. My favorite artist was vasily krasinski. The store was phenomenal, i wish I could've gotten everything. From artist materials, to lamps, tote bags, glasses..etc. i would love to come back one day. The staff was super friendly too.

Always a pleasure to visit this museum. This is my most favourite museum of all because at a time it is dedicated to art by 2 artists (exception of ground floor). It allows you to soak in the work by artist from their early to late years and understand their evolution well. A must to visit.

We attended the Guggenheim for the pay-what-you-wish event on Saturday. Make sure you reserve your ticket ahead of time because even though we had tickets, there was still a line that we had to wait in, although it moved fast. The museum itself is really interesting, it’s a spiral structure so it’s a continuous walking experience. Some of the paintings were really cool and the best part was that it was really affordable!

sharon shamay

A interestingly designed large concrete museum with definite 2001 (Space Odyssey) vibes, all the way to having an annoying piped in sci-fi hum and questionable modern art (ex. a whole multi floor exhibit about a woman who makes masks and takes pictures of herself wearing them).....but that first floor room of classic master works of art is wonderful and worth the admission fee. There are 1-2 single stall unisex bathrooms per floor that are less than the size of most airline toilets. Glad we went but the real enjoyment for regular visitors will be depending on their interest in the rotating artist exhibits, as they make up 90% of the museum space.

I liked the way of presenting of all the arts and painting. Definitely the whole building was amazing. The story of each painting is breathtaking and enjoyed reading it. Also, all the employees are kind and helpful. We had a baby with us and they were so kind to him and open to play with him. Thank you all. Also, the store has a lot of cute and nice goodies. Check it out.

Beautiful building but limited art on display- besides the small collection highlight to the side, I think there were only 3 featured artists in the main building. Definitely a check off my bucket list but I might choose another museum to visit if I come back to NYC.

My favorite painting was the "Bird on a Tree" by Picasso. Made me smile ???? The masked portraits in the Wearing exhibit were fascinating, as were the masks on display themselves (warning, my friends thought they were too creepy). Architecture is lovely, well worth a visit (but maybe on a free day if you're looking to save cash!)

Fascinating art museum designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and opened to the public in 1959. It's located at 1071 Fifth Avenue, and 89th street. It's current theme should be researched prior to visiting. The subway or bus are the most convenient ways of getting there. Reservations are required, and it's currently open Thursday-Monday, 11 am - 6 pm. Children 12 and under have free admission; students, seniors, and visitors with disabilities $18.00; adults $25.00.

They are a part of the reciprocal museum pass which is awesome. It’s a beautiful building and the rotunda is a nice concept. I would probably do more research on the exhibits as they are long running, huge, and there were only 4, one of which I could not appreciate as much.

Ethan Sequeira

Definitely worth going there. The building is an architectural gem and the Kandinsky exhibition is a rare delight

Justin Latham

We love this gallery. We go 2 or 3 time a year. This time, we came on a Saturday “pay what you wish” at 4 pm. It wasn’t to busy this time even on this day. My kids run around and discovered the classics. Perfect introduction to art and with little exercise and play.

Had high expectations but was a little disappointed which was most likely my fault. Most of the art was abstract and it wasn’t my cup of tea. The ones in display were pieces from Etel Adnan and Vasily Kandinsky. Ticket prices were the same as the MET but with less art so that didn’t make sense to me. If in a time crunch, this can definitely be completed in about an hour.

I used my cool culture card for a free admission and I was aware about the restrictions, that most of the levels were not available, so I wasn't disappointed. But it is not nice when there's more staff than visitors and they watch every step of yours and you have to go through several checkpoints like entering the White house and the atmosphere is very non-friendly. Otherwise the arts are good and the names are impressive

Shuo Zhang

The museum did not impress me as much as the MET or the American Museum of Natural History. The staff seemed standoffish, I was rudely approached by security (?) to tell me to wear my backpack backward. Unfortunately, I would not recommend, especially for a family.
