Iconic building that is worth visiting if you're interested in architecture. If you're interested in standing and staring at a piece of art on order to take it all in, this is not the right place to go. Today was my second visit to the museum and the continuous circular ramp for the main exhibit is tiresome at best and can be dizzying at worst. The current Kandinsky exhibit is also set up in a way that was disorienting and poorly curated, on top of the uphill climb to see all the works. It is a reverse chronology of his work. Each period of his life was described using some detail from previous parts of his life that had yet to be revealed. It was like reading a book backwards. Perhaps if the visitor is well versed on Kandinsky's career it would be interesting to deconstruct his artistic progression, but it was confusing to the average art viewer. Half-way through the exhibit I matched straight to the end so that I could actually start at the beginning of his painting career and learn how he progressed through the experience of two world wars and moves from one country to another - and then it started to make sense. The few descriptions of the paintings on the walls also were long and not often very revealing. The exhibit rooms that connect off of the main ramp have pleasantly flat, even floors, but low ceilings and feel very confined.

Worth it just for the architecture - the museum is a work of art inside and out & is a UNESCO site. One os the most well known museums, it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1943 however due to the war which delayed supplies & Solomon Guggenheim's death, construction didn't begin until 1956 & it opened Oct 21, 1959 six months after FLW died. Kandinsky's exhibit here is so fitting as his work reminds me of cosmic circles, a solar system of colorful candy. Actually is named Sounds of Color as his neurological condition cross wired his senses and he could hear his painting. The other exhibit was Etel Adman who studied Kandinsky's work and it shows. There is a nice collection here of classical artists as well in the Thannhauser Gallery on Level 2. The best plan of attack is to take the elevator to the top floor and work your way down around the circle. And always take a peek in the gift shop before leaving.

The building itself is art. I really appreciate the beauty of building and art works by Kandinsky. It is worth visiting.
