NEW YORK, March 16, 2009 (AFP) - New York's Guggenheim art museum is to celebrate its 50th anniversary this summer with an exhibit on Frank Lloyd Wright, the architect who designed the landmark building.
The exhibition, "Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward," will feature models, drawings and digital animations illustrating 64 projects by one of the most influential architects of the 20th century.
The exhibit runs from May 15 to August 23.

"When it opened in October 1959, the museum drew both criticism and admiration," said Richard Armstrong, director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim foundation and museum.
"But what was indisputable was that Wright had reinvented the art museum."
Wright died in 1959, just six months before the opening of the Guggenheim.
