Guggenheim Museum

I was fully prepared for the Guggenheim in New York City to be the same experience as the Museum of Modern Art downtown. It’s crowded, caters to the basic mass market, and is massively overhyped. Its interior is structurally similar to the Hirshhorn Museum in Washing D.C. Being a giant continuous corkscrew.

Unfortunately, its art is also similar to the Hirshhorn Museum being super modern and lacking any sort of style the former European masters commanded from the 13th to 19th century. Going to the Neue Galerie two blocks south isn’t just cheaper, it’s also more tasteful.

Avoid the hype. Enough said.
