	Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in The NYC Insider: an Insider's Guide to New York City
		When Solomon Guggenheim first opened his art holdings to the public in 1939, the collection was called the "Museum of Non-Objective Painting." It was originally housed in a former car showroom, which had been given an elegant air via grey pleated velour wall coverings and classical music emanating from a phonograph.
		The Guggenheim Museum is the youngest structure ever to be designated a New York City landmark.
		Each of our visits to the Guggenheim has been a completely different experience, a result, we suppose, of the museum's habit of totally reconfiguring the main gallery space for each new exhibit.
