guggenheim museum

i have been to the guggenheim twice. it makes a great first stop on the way to the met. that's about all i have to say. it is a beautiful building. walk inside, look up, and then walk out. the exhibits do change over quite frequently, but i haven't seen one that makes me interested to go to the museum. note: the building is under construction so you can't even see it from the outside. times visited: 2 average time in the museum: 1 hr overall: C+
