Guggenheim Museum Location and Contact: It's in Manhattan, Not Brooklyn

A common misconception places the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in Brooklyn. In fact, Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic spiral building sits on Manhattan's Upper East Side at:

1071 Fifth Avenue (at 89th Street)
New York, NY 10128

Phone: (212) 423-3500

Visitor Essentials

  • Hours: Sun–Mon 11 AM–6 PM; Closed Tue; Wed–Fri 11 AM–6 PM; Sat 11 AM–8 PM (Pay What You Wish Sat 5–8 PM)
  • Subway: 4/5/6 to 86th St (walk 3 blocks); Q to 86th St (walk 2 blocks)

The Guggenheim's Brooklyn connection? The museum operates Guggenheim Museum Brooklyn as a separate project space in DUMBO (opened 2023), but the flagship collection and Wright building remain in Manhattan.
