Het oorspronkelijke gebouw is een museumstuk op zich door zijn bijzondere vormgeving. De tentoonstellingsruimte bestaat uit een spiraalvorm, die zich ook buiten manifesteert. De kunstwerken worden tentoongesteld langs een spiraalvormig verlopende helling die het gehele gebouw doorloopt. Het centrale deel van de ruimte, dat doorloopt over alle verdiepingen (voor zover men hier van verdiepingen kan spreken), is afgedekt door een grote lichtkoepel. Het is ontworpen door de Amerikaanse architect Frank Lloyd Wright in samenwerking met Hilla von Rebay van de Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.

I love Pepsi, but I've really stopped drinking it--soda is so bad for you.

 

But I couldn't resist having Pepsi in NY. And I love that the can says "New York." Two of my favorite things together.
