Guggenheim Museum, New York
Marvel at one of the most Instagram able staircases in the world before absorbing a huge collection of art from the Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary eras. A visit to the Guggenheim is a unique experience unlike any offered by a conventional art gallery. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed the museum as a journey, with visitors walking up (or down) a gently sloping spiral. The galleries are divided like membranes in citrus fruit, with self-contained yet interdependent sections. Visitors can also view pieces by great artists like Picasso, Kandinsky and Miró on their own via Google Arts & Culture.
