Enjoy the views of The Hudson River, and East River, The Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, The Statue of Liberty and much more, take advantage of the high-powered binoculars to get a closer look. On a clear day you can see up to six states. The special experience starts in the new 34th Street Visitors Center, a spacious venue designed for visitors to clear security and gain ticket entry. (E-tickets to be presented) The stairway takes you past the large model of world’s most famous building to the exciting New 2nd Floor Exhibits featuring new immersive and interactive exhibits that allow you to be transported back in time to see the site in the 1920s and see the construction crews as they work and take their lunch break high above the city below. You can walk into an office from the 1930s where King Kong’s fingers pierce the walls as he dangles from the building, perhaps even dare to sit in his hand. Take your time and look at the 70 screens displaying highlights of ESB's starring role in pop culture from every decade since the 1930s. From 2nd Floor the express lift takes you smoothly to the top, way above 5th Avenue, in just 45 seconds, enjoy the spectacular and unforgettable views. Guggenheim Museum Part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is Frank Lloyd Wright’s mid-century masterpiece of modern architecture, located alongside scenic Central Park. Visit the museum to see collection highlights, including works by Degas, Gauguin, and Picasso. Plus, enjoy special exhibitions in the iconic, spiraling rotunda. Pieces are even displayed on the walls of the sweeping spiral ramp inside the rotunda. Solomon Guggenheim moved his eccentric collection from The Museum of Non-Objective Art to this iconic site in 1959. The collection has been continually boosted by acquiring other major works by Europe and America’s greatest 19th, 20th and 21st century artists including Manet, Picasso, Degas and Pollock as well as emerging talent like Julien Bismuth. There’s a stylish gift shop where you can acquire you own works of art.
