Have hard to buy for art lovers on your Holiday Gifts List? The Guggenheim can help with these great art gifts.
Our new lightweight hoodies are a clever tribute to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation's first New York-based venue for the display of art, the Museum of Non-Objective Painting. Founded in 1937, this was where the Guggenheim collection was housed prior to the museum's recent expansion.
Curagami Note
The Guggenheim's full title is Guggenheim Museum of Non-Objective Art. We love this riff on a name that sounded a bit full of itself then (1920s).
Non-Objective Cap with adjustable size strap.
Curagami Note
The Guggenheim Museum of non-objective art is the museum's full title. Pretension then, funny now, this cap is a great pair with the non-objective shirt gift. Perfect for all the non-objects on your holiday gift list.

The New York City Snow Globe contains a little bit of everything, celebrating the diverse and limitless ways to encounter the city for tourists and locals alike.

Designed in co-operation with the Guggenheim Museum, Flensted's Guggenheim Building Mobile features Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic 1959 spiral, the 1992 museum addition and the skyscrapers that define the New York City skyline.

Interesting how much easier it is to show the Guggenheim's renovation than Wright's building If you're like us you are glad the Guggenheim build a new facility since looking at art in the Wright building is almost impossible.
