Guggenheim Museum

Setting a new precedent for architecture with its spiraling organic form, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY is one of the world’s most recognizable buildings. Designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1959, the construction of the Guggenheim Museum tested the capabilities of building technology at the time.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is an internationally renowned art museum and one of the most significant architectural icons of the 20th century. The signature spiral of the gallery, made of gun-placed concrete, or “gunite,” stands in contrast to the boxlike tower, which was envisioned by Wright but not built until 1992, during an extensive renovation.

The swirling main building is fashioned from light Aspen wood and the newer tower of American Cherry. The kit’s precise adherence to the architect’s design ensures your completed model is as stunningly beautiful and iconic as the original.

Each kit comes complete with all required parts. All you’ll need to provide is a good quality glue, a knife to remove individual parts from their sheets, and a flat work surface to construct the model. Select the Model Kit + Acrylic Display Case for a stunning display that protects your model, or choose the Finished Model + Acrylic Display Case if you'd rather not build it yourself.

To assemble this scale model, you will need a flat work surface that is at least 18" by 18"; white glue, brands like Elmers or Titebond Premium work well; and a knife to separate wood parts from the sheets.
