Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. 1071 5th Avenue, New York, New York. Built in 1959.

The Guggenheim Museum was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The design process from start until the final idea of the space being a "temple of the spirit" took fifteen years.

The venue was first called the "Museum of Non-Objective Painting" upon its opening in 1939, but was renamed in 1952 after the death of its founder.
