Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum - New York

The Solomon R. Gugghenheim Museum in New York is a treasure chest containing one of the most famous collections of masterpieces from impressionism  to contemporary art. Its distinctive structure have been designed  by Frank Lloyd Wright and opened on October 21, 1959 thanks to the R. Salomon Gugghenheim Foundation.

The spiral architecture that characterizes the white building is in itself and artwork. The sinuous shapes  give the observer an image of softness and strength to same time. Thanks to a  perspective that does not exist estimating the size of the structure is not easy, sometimes it could seems smaller or considerably larger than it actually is. Inside the eyes immediately run upwards pointing at the circular window where the converging circles of the spiral are converging.

Sometimes happens to talk with someone trying to convince him to wait and reflect before giving hasty opinion on modern and contemporary art. The Solomon R. Gugghenheim Museum is definitely one of the best place to recommend to visit. A place full of inspiration and natural birthplace of question marks to break every kind of resistance.

Just in case happens to spend some times in this part of New York a good way to satisfy the body beyond the spirit is to visit the Caffe Grazie only some steps away from the museum (84Th str. between 5th and Madison Ave http://www.caffegrazie.com). The dishes are delicious with some of the most intriguing flavor in the city, highly recommended.
