02/09/2001 - Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1959. Frank Lloyd Wright™, Architect.
1071 5th Avenue (at 89th Street), New York, NY
My brief visit to the Guggenheim museum was a fitting end to my first trip to New York City; I didn't get to view any of the museum collections, but seeing the building itself was the real reason I went in the first place.
