Guggenheim highlights restoration with Oct. 30 free day

textonguggenheim.jpg

To celebrate the completion of the restoration of its landmark Frank Lloyd Wright building, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum will open its doors for free admission October 30 from noon to 8 p.m..

Audio tours will be free of charge — and you can get a free cookie at The Museum Café if you purchase an entrée.

Regular adult admission at the Guggenheim is $18, but every Friday night it’s pay-what-you-wish from 5:45 until the last entry at 7:15 p.m.

Installations on view during the fee day include “theanyspacewhatever,” “Catherine Opie: American Photographer” and “A Photo Tribute to the Life of Robert Rauschenberg.”

The exterior of the building will be illuminated from 7 to 11 p.m. by Jenny Holzer’s site-specific art commissioned by the Guggenheim.

The Guggenheim’s podcasts include a program on the building renovation.

The Guggenheim is located at 1071 Fifth Ave., map.
