Why you should go…
Frank Lloyd Wright's 1959 spiral is the rare museum where the building rivals the collection, it earned UNESCO World Heritage status in 2019. Take the elevator up and drift down the quarter-mile ramp past rotating exhibitions, then linger over the Thannhauser holdings of Picasso, Cézanne, and Van Gogh and one of the world's great Kandinsky collections. Adult tickets are $30, under-12s free, with pay-what-you-wish hours on Saturday evenings.
