My sister is a fan of museums and some kinds of Art. I also like some Museums and a little bit of Art, so we to decided to visit the Guggenheim Museum on our recent trip to New York. It is located near central park at 1071 5th Avenue/ 89th street. This was another one of the places to visit in our New York pass deal.

First impressions of the building were good; its a sort of spiral type style, with you reaching each floor going around and around. We didnt have to wait in the long queue to get in (thank god!) with our passes.

We had not realised at the time that the Museum had a huge exhibition of Picasso on!! We saw some signs outside, but i didnt imagine for one minute that this ehibition would take up about 3/4 of the Museum! If there is one artist i do not like its Picasso! Floor by floor was mostly full of Picasso's work which basically was of no interest to me.

There was a little bit of Kadinsky Art, some photography basically of people (which didnt interest me). The museum does have a permanent display of Artwork called the Thannhauser collection some of which was quite good, but due to the huge display of Picasso, i was very dissapointed. It was lucky we didnt actually pay at the door to get in as the Art Museums are quite expensive to get into (around $25).

My advice for anyone wanting to visit the Museum is to check first to see what exhibitions they have on and then decide whether it is worth a visit; im sure that the Museum sometimes has some great exhibitions, but this one was simply not to my taste.

Due to my dissapointment with this display unfortunately im giving the Museum just 3 stars.
