So this is what the inside of the Guggenheim museum looks like! Astounding, right? This is a six-story helical ramp that extends along the main gallery's walls. It is one-quarter mile long and climbs steadily at a three degree incline. Artworks are installed at an angle of one and one-half degrees which appears straight to the human eye. The shape of the building is the inverse of a stepped pyramid, expanding up and out. Wright described this form as an "optimistic ziggurat." Obviously I am going to milk this visit and only show you one photograph a day... :-) Stay tuned.
