Although this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Guggenheim Museum, what better time to go than now? Kandinsky's exhibit is up until January 13th and is an abstract extravaganza that even non art connoisseurs should not miss. This 20th century lawyer turned artist played with various styles and although I don't know much about expressionistic painting, I can appreciate the intense colors and bold shapes and lines that Kandinsky played with. Plus, the layout of the museum is amazing. The main exhibit wraps around the various layers of the cylindrical interior so that you can bypass them quickly or stop and reflect on a favorite. The admission is $18 but a couple hours spent leisurely enjoying art while listening to your free headset is a nice escape from the craziness of the city that is anything but still life.
