Guggenheim Museum

Since it was completed in 1959 from a design by Frank Lloyd Wright it has been an iconic component of Manhatten which, co-incidentally, is where it is located. It is regarded by people who are in a position to know about such things as as great a work of art as the paintings that it houses which is saying something because it houses some pretty great works of art.

The building receives between 900,000 and 1,000,000 visitors per year and it is starting to show signs of wear and tear. Each year it gets another layer of face paint however the time has come for a more substantial refurbishment. A fund has been set up for the revitalisation of the building. So far they have raised $20 million but are looking for another $5 million. This is where the elite readership of The Green Man comes in. You know that five mil you have floating around in a spare bank account for which you have no clear need. Well here is your chance to do something good with it.

On the other hand you could give a chunk of it to The Green Man himself who has always maintained that, although not cheap, he can be bought. It would make you a unique individual since the only person who has clicked the "donate" button on The Green Man website is The Green Man himself to check that it was actually working.

I was there two years ago (exactly, come to think of it) and they had floors 2, 3, and 5 closed off, as well as the famous spiral staircase, so it was a little disappointing, but still lots of good art to see.
