Frank Lloyd Wright's spiraling rotunda is one of the great works of 20th-century architecture, and the building itself is as much the attraction as the art inside. The permanent collection includes Kandinsky, Picasso, and Klee, and major temporary exhibitions are reliably ambitious. The crowds can be intense and the ramp layout means you see everything whether you want to or not — go early on a weekday for the best experience.
