Guggenheim Celebrates 150th Birthday of Frank Lloyd Wright

Guggenheim Celebrates 150th Birthday of #franklloydwright.

Celebrate the 150th birthday of Frank Lloyd Wright through a series of activities at the architect’s masterwork: the Solomon R. #guggenheim Museum.

The celebration kicks off Thursday, June 8 with a special open day (10 am to 5:45 pm) and a reduced admission fee of $1.50 in honor of Wright’s 150th birthday. The Guggenheim’s newly renovated Cafe 3 will feature large-scale, rarely seen photographs of the museum during its construction and will add a special birthday cupcake to the day’s menu. An actor-historian portraying #franklloydwright will be on-site engaging with visitors between 10 am and 1 pm.

Additional activities will be offered during the month of June including architecture-specific tours of the museum as part of the Art in the Round program, sketch workshops such as Drawing the Guggenheim, and a variety of family programs. The Guggenheim Store will also feature new Wright-related merchandise, and the museum’s website will highlight new content about Wright.
