Manal’s Blurb about the Guggenheim Museum

Within a short walk from Central Park, is the uniquely designed Guggenheim museum. I was in awe the moment I stepped into the museum. Hanging from the ceiling are various sculptures ranging from a life size cow to the sculpture of a young boy playing the drums. The statues are held in place by a thick white cloth; they are aligned so that some are closer to the ceiling than others. Architecturally speaking, the museum is designed to have a seamless ramp rather than stairs so that the further the museumgoers walk, the more sculptures they are able to see. The museum integrates both traditional and modern art perfectly. On each floor there is an arts exhibit showcasing various artwork from French, German and American artists. On the third floor you can find French inspired art by well-esteemed artists such as Paul Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso; the art consists of broad strokes and nature themes. On the fourth and fifth floors you can find the art by Kandinsky, which is more abstract but precise. Lastly, on the sixth floor is the pop art gallery with American art from post world war two.
