Pro tips to help you make a pick

Be sure to check out the temporary exhibitions during your visit. The museum features a diverse range of artwork by both local and international artists, offering a unique opportunity to discover rare and extraordinary masterpieces.

The Guggenheim is open on Mondays, when many other New York City museums are closed, making this one of the busiest days to visit. If Monday fits your schedule, plan to arrive early (as close to 10 AM as possible) to enjoy the exhibits before the crowds take over.

Want to be inspired? Carry a sketchbook and pencils, grab a spot anywhere in the museum, and let your creativity run free.

Use the audio guide to learn more about the artists and their work during your visit. These are available in five languages including a special guide just for children.

On Saturdays from 5pm to 7:45pm, you can take advantage of the museum's "pay-what-you-wish" entry option. Please note that this offer is cash-only, and wait times during these hours are typically longer than usual.
