The Guggenheim Museum building on New York's Upper East Side is one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most celebrated buildings, and it is truly one of the icons of an architectural career that spanned seven decades. This online exhibition complements an in situ exhibit designed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this distinguished structure. Visitors may click on "View exhibition site" to visit the archived version of the exhibit's site. Visitors to this online exhibit will be able to peruse four primary sections, including "Oral Histories", "Biography", and "Projects". In the "Projects" area, visitors can look through architectural drawings that depict Wright's Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, along with Fallingwater and his proposed "Mile High" skyscraper. With the skyscraper drawing, visitors can also click on an animation button that provides a 360 degree view of the proposed building. Moving on, the "Oral Histories" area provides excerpt of the master himself speaking about his work, along with commentaries from other distinguished architects, including Philip Johnson.
