Guggenheim Museum New York
Planned by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum broke away from the dictates of modern architectural trends. The Guggenheim Museum represented the most poetically linked of all of Frank Lloyd Wright's works.
Standing beside a model of the museum and to the right of architect Frank Lloyd Wright are Mrs. Guggenheim and Solomon R. Guggenheim, a patron of the arts. Solomon Guggenheim commissioned this project in 1943, and approved the plans before his death in 1949. Construction began in 1957 and was completed in 1959.
The ramp surrounding the atrium rises from the ground to a dome 95 feet above.
