Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic spiral museum on Fifth Avenue is as much about the revolutionary architecture as the art inside—take the elevator to the top and walk down the continuous ramp to experience the full effect. The permanent collection includes impressive Impressionist and modern works like Kandinsky and Van Gogh, though temporary exhibitions vary widely in quality. Note that current shows can be hit-or-miss; one recent display of similar painted metal objects felt repetitive to visitors.
