In which Manhattan neighborhood is the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum located?

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

The museum occupies a prominent site on Fifth Avenue beside Central Park. Its location is commonly associated with Museum Mile, the cultural corridor along the eastern edge of the park.

The Upper East Side setting places the Guggenheim near institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Neue Galerie New York. This concentration of museums makes the area one of Manhattan’s most important destinations for visitors interested in art and design.

SoHo is another Manhattan neighborhood with a Guggenheim connection: the Guggenheim Museum SoHo operated there for a period. However, the permanent Frank Lloyd Wright-designed museum building is in the Upper East Side.
