Guggenheim Museum

After the Empire State Building, I caught another sightseeing bus and headed uptown to the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum (a.k.a. The Guggenheim). I’ve always been drawn to this place – not because of anything in particular that it exhibits but rather a strange attraction to the architecture of the building. There is something about the spiral that appeals. Unfortunately the spiral is currently closed while they’re preparing for an exhibition so I didn’t get to walk around it while I was there but seeing it was still impressive. The actual exhibits were a bit hit and miss – there was one involving sculptures made from mirrored glass which was good but the main exhibit appear to exist of video projectors plugged into shoes and some sort of wind machine which seemed juvenile to me (it has apparently won awards so clearly I know nothing).
