Guggenheim Museum
1071 Fifth Avenue, East Harlem, New York
1956-59
Frank Lloyd Wright Architects

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is Frank Lloyd Wright's New York masterpiece with its famous internal spiral ramp - containing art - around the atrium. However some of the internal planning seems clumsy, especially the junction of the iconic ramps to the rectilinear northern part of the building: some gaps are just too tight and there are fairly meaningless spaces leftover. Permanent collection of 19th-20th century art.
