Even as many museums around the world reopen with adaptations for the COVID-19 pandemic, not everyone is able or willing to visit in person. That makes this overview of New York's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, provided by Google Arts & Culture (previously featured in the 07-19-2019 Scout Report), extra handy for armchair travelers. Visitors can view more than 200 artworks inside the museum by selecting from a handful of online exhibits, such as But a Storm Is Blowing From Paradise: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa, or Storylines: Contemporary Art at the Guggenheim, featuring works from the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The exhibit Architecture of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum provides a deep dive into architect Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic design of the building. In addition to the exhibits, readers can find artworks organized by material and artist under In This Collection. For visitors who wonder how the museum manages to hang art on its round walls, scroll to the section titled 4 Museum Views and click the small human figure icon to walk the spiral. The page linked above also provides basic information about the museum, including opening hours, website, and location.
