Guggenheim Free Fridays moving to Saturday donation

Today is one of the final Free Fridays at the Guggenheim Museum, which allows entry to the museum from 5:45 to 7:45 p.m. without paying so much as a dime.

guggenheimgoldbox1.jpgUntil recently, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum offered a pay-what-you-wish Fridays, but replaced it Free Fridays through the run of the current exhibition, “The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia 1860-1989.”

The show, which will close April 19, displays more than 250 works examining how Asian ideas were transmitted to America and incorporated into art in the United States — including some surprising examples such as Georgia O’Keefe, Jasper Johns, Yoko Ono and Allen Ginsberg.

Featured works include Paul Kos’s “Sound of Ice Melting” (1970); James Lee Byars’ “The Death of James Lee Byars, (1982/1994) and Ann Hamilton’s “human carriage” (2009).

When that exhibition ends, the Guggenheim will briefly revive its pay-what-you-wish on Friday evenings policy.

On May 15, the Guggenheim will open its next blockbuster — Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward — and move its pay-what-you-wish night to Saturdays, a museum spokesperson told NewYorkology. The Saturday pay-what-you-wish hours are set for 5:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.

At that point, Fridays will go back to full price admission.

See the list of NYC museums with free hours, updated with other changes for spring.
