Guggenheim Museum Store

Rude member of staff resulted in not wanting to purchase anything and just exit as soon as possible. Will avoid altogether next time i visit.

Museum shop inside the Guggenheim Museum. They sell T-shirts, cups, souvenirs and books etc.

Difficult job for curators when the architecture can be more appealing than the art.

On Monday the store charged me THREE times for the same purchase, and said the two first payments would ‘fall off’ within 24hours. It’s now Thursday and they still have my money….and they don’t answer their phone or respond to the customer service email. I’m on holiday so having to deal with the lack of communication is extremely disappointing. I can only hope someone reads this so I can get the ball rolling!

A must visit at the end of your time at the Guggenheim. There are two stores in the building, one on the ground floor, which you have to go through to exit the building and another on, I think, Level 3.
The store is beautifully laid out and although expensive, I was not leaving without a memento and I found the perfect piece. 4 carved and painted artist characters - Dali, Kahlo, Warhol and Van Gogh.
However, I was tempted with so many other beautifully made items. Cards, notebooks, mobiles, scarves, textiles, jewellery, and much, much more. The selection of modern and contemporary books were particularly enticing.
I'm pleased that they also endeavour to support socially responsible artisans.
For me, it is a must to visit the Guggenheim store and Tele home with you a reminder of this amazing Museum. Thank you to the staff. who were very helpful.

I can't get enough of this building .. it is a masterpiece.. just like other masterpieces of Frank Lloyd Wright ❤️

It's a nice small gift shop filled with unique gifts for you or to give to a fellow art lover. We wanted to buy so many things, but the high prices did stop us from buying everything. To be fair, prices are what most Museum gift shops would charge.
You must stop in and buy something to remember your visit.

I live in Miami Florida and together with my wife we ​​planned our trip to New York almost a year in advance, one of my focal points was visiting the Guggenheim museum, and getting to know all the exhibition halls, their structure and all their spaces, the day Friday, April 9, we went to the museum and to be honest I was very satisfied with the experience of the visit, and the truth is that each and every one of the people with whom I had the opportunity to interact was very kind, with the exception of the person who works in the museum store specifically at the cash register, once we left the museum we wanted to buy something to remember our visit, at some point during my tour of the store, I was verbally assaulted by this person whose name I do not know, and I was taken from the store shouting because my mask fell off my nose, I did not allow time or even to explain what was happening, I did not want to start an argument, which is why, I Left from the store in silence, but quite annoyed by the rude and aggressive attitude of this person, which contrasts with all the kindness that exists inside the museum. I fully understand the sanitary regulations and the care that we must take in these days of a pandemic, however I also understand and am aware that there are ways of saying things, and showing kindness does not cost anything, especially with people who pay a ticket to enter to the museum and in our particular case we flew more than three hours to finally get to know it.

This bitter experience does not detract from my pleasant visit to the museum at all, but at this particular point, I believe that this person should receive some kind of preparation to be able to serve the visitors, who in short contribute in some way to the payment of their salary. .

A big greeting
