SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM

Peering down from the top floor of the Guggenheim Museum, I was intrigued by these concentric geometrical patterns. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, this building was controversial when it opened in 1959 because one climbed the lift to the top then walked down a spiral ramp to view the modern masterpieces displayed on the walls. Critics complained that the walls were concave making it difficult to hang paintings, viewing space was limited, and there wasn't enough lighting. Today, it is a revered iconic piece of architecture.
