The Guggenheim Museum New York

I got to visit the Guggenheim in New York the other week. It's not like any other building I've seen. Amongst the grandeur of the Upper East Side it looks other worldly, it has a futuristic air about it, even though it was completed in 1959. Frank Lloyd Wright was the brains behind the building, and he was known for his innovative architecture. Unfortunately for him and Solomon R. Guggenheim, who founded the Guggenheim foundation, neither lived to see the building completed.
The museum houses the late Guggenheims collection of art; he was a great admire of Vasily Kandinsky, as well as Expressionist and Surrealist paintings. However much of the museum holds the works of Frank Lloyd Wright and his many architectural designs.
The inside is just as original as the outside. Each level is connected with a continuous spiral walkway around the edge. Each level has a few rooms attached that don't take anything away from the sweeping curves of the main space in the middle of the building. The Guggenheim is topped off with a large glass dome that lets in lots of light, accentuating the smoothness of the interior.
