The Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is famous for its spiral ramp. The route through the exhibition is itself an architectural experience.

Many visitors ride up to the top floor and then walk down slowly, looking at the works along the way. Because you follow a single path rather than going up and down floor by floor, the flow of the exhibition is never interrupted. Special exhibitions change from time to time, so check what is on before you visit.
