After breakfast the group will start the day of at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Guggenheim itself is a stunning piece of art. In addition to works by Manet, Kandinsky, Picasso & Chagall, the museum owns Peggy Guggenheim's trove of cubist, surrealist & abstract expressionist works, along with the Panza di Biumo collection of American minimalist and conceptual art from 1960's & 70's.
