TFW you realize you share a birthday with one of your best friends!! 🥰 .We opened "Pictures to Read, Poetry to be Seen" today in 1967.
Happy 65th birthday, Guggenheim! 🎉✨ On October 21, 1959, the museum opened its doors, with thousands flocking to Fifth Avenue. The film “Buildings & Crowd” captured the buzz as visitors experienced the iconic space and works by Arp, Brancusi, Chagall, Kandinsky, and more. 🌀🖼️
