The NYC Guggenheim Museum is a building that broke every rule of museum design, defied the city's building codes. It became Frank Lloyd Wright’s final, and most controversial masterpiece.
Wright was in his late seventies when he took on the commission. He hated New York. He didn’t like museums. And yet, over sixteen turbulent years, he fought to bring his spiral vision to life, a building that would stand in open rebellion against the rigid skyline of Manhattan.
This is the story of ego, obsession, and architectural idealism, and how one building refused to fit in, and became a legend because of it.
