The Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan on its upper East side is the capstone of Frank Lloyd Wright's spectacular career as an architect, which he worked on from 1943 until his death in 1959. It opened six months after he passed away.
Wright had to battle building code administrators in New York City, notorious for its over-regulation, and some artists also protested how their works would be displayed. Some were unhappy that Wright outshined the artists with his design.[1]
Its breathtaking beauty makes it a tourist attraction in New York City.[2]
The Guggenheim Museum displays an eclectic collection modern, impressionist, and post-impressionist art, along with special collections.
