The two most celebrated art museums in New York, united in a single day on one of the world's great cultural avenues. The Museum of Modern Art in Midtown holds over 200,000 works including Van Gogh's The Starry Night, Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, Monet's Water Lilies, and Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans — the most comprehensive collection of modern art in the world. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on Fifth Avenue is both a great art institution and arguably the most important building in 20th-century American architecture — Frank Lloyd Wright's spiralling concrete rotunda, completed in 1959 and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Art and architecture in perfect harmony.

About The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) + The Guggenheim
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum offer two completely different approaches to modern art. MoMA takes an encyclopaedic view, covering every major movement and medium from the late 19th century to today across multiple floors, giving you a comprehensive understanding of how modern art evolved.
In contrast, the Guggenheim is as much about the building as the art itself, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as a continuous, immersive experience. Its spiral ramp, open rotunda, and natural light create a unique way of viewing art that feels fluid rather than segmented, with collections like the Thannhauser Gallery adding depth through Impressionist and early modern works.
Together, these museums tell the full story of modern art — from its history and diversity at MoMA to its relationship with space and architecture at the Guggenheim. Book on Thrillark to experience both perspectives in one inspiring New York visit.

Insiders' Tips
Visit MoMA in the morning and the Guggenheim in the afternoon — MoMA is in Midtown (53rd Street) and the Guggenheim is on the Upper East Side (89th Street), both on or near Fifth Avenue, making a northward progression logical. Between them, a walk through Central Park from 59th Street to 89th Street is a beautiful transition. At MoMA, start on the 5th floor with the most famous works and work downward. At the Guggenheim, take the elevator to the top and walk down the ramp — the building is designed to be experienced in this direction.
