Guggenheim jewelry. Now with more real Guggenheim.

If these weren't so freaking expensive, I'd get me some Guggenheim earrings.


Don't miss your chance to own a piece of the Guggenheim Museum! Restoration Rocks, one-of-a-kind fragments of Frank Lloyd Wright's modern masterpiece, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, gathered during the 2007 restoration and presented in hand-crafted acrylic and sterling silver. Designed and fabricated by California-based jewelry artist Cara Tilker, each piece is unique. Limited edition.

Beat Museum ads.

While I think the copy is weak, viewing a few of these ads did make me curious to see the museum.

An amazing collection of behind-the-scenes museum photos.

Beautiful.





Over the course of a year Justine Cooper captured the behind the scenes storage areas of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Using a vintage wood 4x5 camera, Cooper shares rare glimpses into their massive housed collections and reveals a trail of scientific desire that reaches back into the 19th century and across the 4 corners of the earth. Cooper deftly wended her way from basement to attic, peering into thousands of vats, drawers, corners and cupboards along the way to produce this vivid series of photographs. Her access was unprecedented as the first and only artist-in-residence at the Museum in its almost 150 year history.
