I'm not a big fan of the Guggenheim's collection, but i do love the building, and wonder why it hasn't become the template for many others. Quite aside from its own beauty, it seems one of the best ways to display art. I'm often frustrated in museums by a labyrinth of rooms, not always well laid out, that keep me from back-tracking to reconsider a painting I'd passed in light of ones I saw further on. The spiral solves that brilliantly. In 1962, my uncle, a painter, took me there to see an...

Mr. Wright was a genius. A beautiful use of space, nicely illustrated, Jonathan. This is actually one of those places I've yet to visit and hope to some day.

Thanks for the informational post. I have always liked Wrights work. We will be in Chicago next year and this would be great to see. Thanks again for the pictures.

For fans of Frank Lloyd Wright, the Chicago area is a mecca. His home and studio in Oak Park are surrounded by many houses he designed, the Robie House in Hyde Park is nearing completion of a major restoration. But visitors following the Wright trail...

SC Johnson Company has opened its Frank Lloyd Wright Research Tower for visitors for the first time. The building, where Glade, Off, Pledge and Raid were developed, was built for Johnson in 1950 at its Racine WI campus. Wright also designed the...

I think Scottsdale (and Tucson as well) are among the most underrated travel destinations in the USA. The weather in the winter is near perfect and it's such a unique and interesting place to visit. Your photos and blog reminded me that I need to head back there sometime soon. Thanks, Marilyn!

One of the great perks of a good road trip is not knowing where you'll stop along the way...just where you start and where you end (and sometimes, not even that!) So how about a 10-day cruise on a luxury ship where all you know is where it sails from and where it says farewell?
