Is Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum works.

You ride to the top and wind down the spiral ramp past the art, which is as much architecture experience as gallery visit. The permanent collection is strong on early modernism but small; how you feel depends heavily on the rotating show. Compact enough to do in 90 minutes — a counterpoint to the overwhelming Met.
