guggenheim.museum

 you visit the museum at its opening hour, so you go the whole space for yourself and it makes a lot of different as you can truly appreciate the space and the architecture. the audio guide really explains the philosophy and architecture in details...
 as you listen to the audio guide, you move around as it instructed
 you walk out and look up, and suddenly the architecture makes sense to you...
and you can once again appreciate the outdoor sculptures from different perspective...
up close and personal with tulips also by jeff koons. it brightens up the rainy and grey-ish morning

from here you went about to the exhibition
 you spent most of your time at yoko ono's exhibition and this is a wishing tree like those in japan,
 visitors are encourage to write a wish and hang them on the tree...
the rest of the exhibitions from yoko ono are quite provoking, mind blowing and certainly some of the installation won your heart and soul.  perhaps she is a japanese artist, perhaps it's the asian philosophy but you find that some of her values and perceptions are similar to yours. you appreciate the way she illustrate life through water, light for balance and etc. and her visual fight for world peace using the small cages.  she is a talented artist who sings too!  anyway, you didn't took any photo as instructed, also your respect to her.  you spent almost 3/4 of your time on her exhibition. the other you just browse swiftly as the crowds starting to fill the space

 and you love 'the visitors' too where nine-screen multichannel video installation, portraying individual in isolation and yet the music and vocal blend so well together almost in harmonious. such a brilliant creation by an iceland artist.

you left after this as the museum becomes too crowded and it's also time for your late afternoon lunch.
