The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is the best museum of modern art in New York. It is located along 5th Avenue on the eastern edge of Central Park, near the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum was founded in 1937 by a wealthy art collector after whom it was named, and it moved into its present building in 1959. Although the museum has a rich collection of 20th century European avant-garde, it is equally famous for its unique building, designed by famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, which looks funny from the outside, but has a unique interior.
