From June 18 through September 3, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is open until 9 pm for Summer Tuesdays offering music and refreshments in the museum rotunda in addition to exhibitions on view in the galleries. Films, conversations, and performances enhance opportunities for visitors to engage with the museum and the Frank Lloyd Wright–designed building that celebrates 60 years as an architectural icon in 2019.
