Guggenheim Museum

The Guggenheim Museum is famed for its unique architecture and its collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Modern, and Contemporary art. Highlights include works by Kandinsky, Picasso, Chagall, Degas, Manet, Van Gogh and many other influential artists. There are also rotating temporary exhibitions showcasing a variety of modern and cutting-edge art.

Most visitors spend around two hours exploring the main spiral and the side galleries, but if you’re really into modern art or architecture, you could easily spend half a day here. If you only have a short time, be sure to walk the spiral and see the permanent highlights along the way.

Photography for personal use is generally permitted in the Guggenheim’s public areas unless otherwise noted. Flash, tripods, and professional equipment are prohibited. Always check signage or ask a staff member before taking photos of special exhibitions, as rules may differ.

Yes! The Guggenheim offers family-friendly programs and interactive materials to help children engage with the art. Families might want to check the museum’s calendar for special workshops and tours designed specifically for younger visitors.

Visitors are subject to a security screening. Large bags or suitcases aren’t allowed in the galleries and must be checked at teh cloakroom. Avoid bringing big items to speed up entry.

All gallery floors can be accessed by ramp or elevator. Wheelchairs are available free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis at the coat check. Service animals are welcome.
