Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

American Museum of Natural History

This is the largest natural history museum in the world. It has over 32 million things to see.

The Guggenheim Museum

The museum was built by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1959. At first, the museum owners were not happy with the building. In their opinion, some of the walls were too short for the paintings. "Cut the paintings in half!" Wright answered.
