New York Culture: Opened in 1959, New York City's Guggenheim Museum was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and has become a significant architectural landmark. Their collection is focused on modern and contemporary art, and is the main hub of the global network of Guggenheim Museums.

The main rotunda here is a breathtaking setting for the museum's refined collection of artworks, and the Wright restaurant continues the stunning theme while providing a beautiful place to sit down for a meal. The Guggenheim is open year-round, and counts among the highlights of their permanent collection several Picasso's and Lichtenstein's.
