It all started in 1929 when Solomon R. Guggenheim bought about 150 works of Kandinsky and got interested in Abstract Art. The museum first opened in 1937 and since then has become one of the iconic art museums in NYC.

really your experience seems to depend on how well you think the unique phenomenological format of the museum fits the show. but my god, encountering Agnes Martin's final painting here was a rush.

If u are an architecture buff, this is a must visit. I agree the architecture overwhelmes the art. I spent my first hour in awe with the interior space and hardly noticing the art!

Very impressive museum! Must see even if just for the building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The promenade with the various galleries and exhibitions is unique and very well thought out!
