Frank Lloyd Wright Guggenheim Museum
June 14th, 2008 by cha
I just wrote about the beauty of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. Now i wanted to switch gears and talk about his other masterpiece. The Guggenheim Museum in New York is one of the most beautiful architectural structures in the that great city. The simple curves of the building is an artist shell for the art works displayed inside. Every body knows that the exterior structure is great. I wanted to focus your attention on the interior. Because i am an interior designer, i might be biased about my opinion here. But i have to say it. The Guggenheim is special because of it’s interior. The exterior is wonderful. No body doubts this. But when you walk inside and walk up it’s stairs, you will experience something. The interior is filled with beautiful curves. The color is a simple white. Like Apple’s ipod, i think simplicity is the key to elegant modern design. When you walk around this museum, you will feel like a kid. The interior will inspire you to create an experience with your interior design.
There are critics out there who say that architecture such as this can shade the art inside. It could be true, but if the art is true, it should stand out even if it’s housed inside a masterpiece.

The Guggenheim is one of my favorite buildings too. One my first visit, in order to photograph the artful curve of the levels, I ended up laying in the middle of the lobby. My husband pretended not to notice.:)
BTW my photo turned out great.
