The Guggenheim: Back in White

Frank Lloyd Wright’s spiraling Guggenheim Museum is one of New York’s most interesting architectural landmarks, but that hasn’t meant much to visitors over the past three years, when the museum’s aging exterior has been shrouded in a thick coat of scaffolding.

The restoration was recently completed, and the Gugg is showing off it’s shiny new façade with a site-specific installation from artist Jenny Holzer, whose work consists of giant text projected onto the side of the museum.

To celebrate even further, the museum is getting rid of the admission fee--for one day only. This Thursday, October 30, the Guggenheim will be open for free from 12pm to 8pm, with free audio tours, too.
