New York’s iconic Guggenheim Museum will be celebrating its 50th birthday later this year, and has just opened a special exhibition to mark the event. This year is also the 50th anniversary of the death of Frank Lloyd Wright, the building’s architect who died only months before the museum’s official opening. Considered Wright’s masterpiece, New York’s Guggenheim will be showcasing dozens of the architect’s projects in the special Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward exhibition that runs until August 23rd. It’s a collaboration between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, and will include civic and government buildings, performance spaces, and privately commissioned residences, as well as urban projects that were never completed. They’re shown through drawings, models, and digital animations, displayed on the spiraling interior of the museum. The building went through an extensive exterior renovation between 2005 and 2008, and now shines even brighter as seen on these photos taken by UCityGuides. It embodies Wright’s pioneering concepts of space, and remains a cultural and architectural icon:
