Guggenheim Museum

Was really happy I took XMM's suggestion to go check out Guggenheim museum. I thought I'd been there in 2005, but apparently not.

I'm no art guru but Guggenheim is home to a renowned collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern and comteporary art. Even if one doesn't visit for the art pieces, I think the payback is good enough simply by soaking in the architecture of the museum.

It's a unique 7-storey spiral where art pieces can be hung along the walls of the spiral, with galleries on every floor. Really cool mann. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, it is one of the 20th century's most important architectural landmarks. It took Wright 15 years, 700 sketches, and six sets of working drawings to create the museum and I LOVE IT!!!!
