New York! (3) Museums

Impossible to visit all the museums and
galleries of New York! Especially if you have already blisters on your
feet.
But the architecture of the Guggenheim is of course a must.
The current exhibition bears the title "The great upheaval", referring to
the period of 1910 - 1918. Of course, the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright
must have come as a great upheaval when the museum was built in the 1940's and
50's. Today, the building looks much less dated than many buildings from the
1960's and 10's!

On the lower floors, quite a lot of "conceptual art" that has remained at
the state of a concept and not matured into art. Incredible treasures of
"older" art on the higher floors.
