Item Description

A great opportunity for a family or group of 6 to visit the renowned Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Guggenheim Museum in NYC! See the world-class permanent collection as well as extraordinary special exhibits. 

This package also includes a gorgeous coffee table book, "The Guggenheim: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Making of the Modern Museum".

In this first-ever book to explore the process behind one of the greatest modern buildings in America, The Guggenheim: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Making of the Modern Museum examines the history, design, and construction of Wright’s masterwork. Fully illustrated with preliminary drawings, models, and photographs, the book includes three major essays that consider the building in three important contexts: Hillary Ballon discusses the obstacles Wright faced in getting the Guggenheim built and how his complex relationship with New York City was reflected in his design; Neil Levine explores why Wright’s Guggenheim had a much greater impact on museum architecture than museums designed by Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe; and Joseph Siry writes about the museum’s novel construction and how it impacted the work of a later generation of architects including Frank Gehry, Louis Kahn, and I.M. Pei.
