This in-app audio tour will tell you the story behind the masterpieces of the most iconic collection of Solomon Guggenheim Museum, and take you through the old-fashioned streets of the historic Carnegie Hill neighborhood.
The tour starts outside the museum, an architectural gem and one of the most "instagrammable" places in Manhattan. Inside, you will be guided through its permanent collection of ground-breaking modernist artists. Hear about the tragic fate of Vincent van Gogh, get impressed by the artwork of Édouard Manet, and, of course, learn about Pablo Picasso, whose life and work were closely connected with the founder of the collection. Choose to explore special exhibitions as well.
Next, set off on a journey through the Carnegie Hill neighborhood, which has preserved its classical European-like atmosphere and charm. You will see refined mansions and townhouses and hear about their notable residents like Gwyneth Paltrow. A filming location for many movies, Carnegie Hill offers scenic views of Central Park waterside, old churches, and vibrant avenues. For the perfect end to a great tour, enjoy delicious food in one of the recommended French or Italian eateries.
