On this day in 1959 The Solomon Guggenheim Museum opened in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City. The Guggenheim was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It took Wright 15 years to create this art museum. Solomon Guggenheim was an American businessman, art collector and philanthropist. He died in 1949.

Was this Guggenheim by chance related to Benjamin Guggenheim who died on the Titanic?
In what I’ve read about him no mention was made of Benjamin…
Only visited this once, but love it with a passion. I had no idea it was the anniversary! Thanks!
Benjamin and Solomon were brothers
