The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is one
of 40
historic buildings, icons, and landmarks in New York City
selected to
participate in Partners in Preservation, a program from
American Express
and
the National Trust for Historic Preservation
to raise awareness of the
importance of historic places. Each year at the Guggenheim,
more than 1.3 million visitors enter and exit through
our doors to
behold Frank Lloyd Wright’s spiraling architecture. After years of
constant
use,
the single revolving door and adjacent double doors of the museum
require
immediate
attention. Through Partners in Preservation, the
Guggenheim
has
the opportunity to receive a $250,000 grant for historic restoration
of the
Frank Lloyd Wright–designed front doors based on popular
vote. With your help, we can secure the crucial funds to restore the
doors and surrounding
detail to
Frank Lloyd Wright’s original
design.
How
You Can Help
Vote up to once a day for the
Guggenheim
on Facebook or PartnersinPreservation.com

Wright–designed doors.
