Frank Lloyd Wright 150th Birthday Celebration
June 8, 10 am–5:45 pm
(NEW YORK, NY—May 3, 2017)—Celebrate the 150th birthday of Frank Lloyd Wright through a series of activities at the architect’s masterwork: the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
The celebration kicks off Thursday, June 8 with a special open day (10 am to 5:45 pm) and a reduced admission fee of $1.50 in honor of Wright’s 150th birthday. The Guggenheim’s newly renovated Cafe 3 will feature large-scale, rarely seen photographs of the museum during its construction and will add a special birthday cupcake to the day’s menu. An actor-historian portraying Frank Lloyd Wright will be on-site engaging with visitors between 10 am and 1 pm.
Additional activities will be offered during the month of June including architecture-specific tours of the museum as part of the Art in the Round program, sketch workshops such as Drawing the Guggenheim, and a variety of family programs. The Guggenheim Store will also feature new Wright-related merchandise, and the museum’s website will highlight new content about Wright.

ABOUT THE SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM FOUNDATION
Founded in 1937, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation is dedicated to promoting the understanding and appreciation of art, primarily of the modern and contemporary periods, through exhibitions, education programs, research initiatives, and publications. The Guggenheim network that began in the 1970s when the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, was joined by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, has since expanded to include the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (opened 1997) and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (currently in development). The Guggenheim Foundation continues to forge international collaborations that celebrate contemporary art, architecture, and design within and beyond the walls of the museum, including the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative and The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative. More information about the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation can be found at guggenheim.org.
