The Guggenheim’s mother ship interior is such a thrill that it prepares you to love whatever’s on view.
The interiors of the Frick and the Morgan are intimate enough to make you feel proprietarily, and fabulously, at home.
The Rubin Museum of Art also has design and art going for it.
Housed in what was once the women’s wear wing of Barneys New York, it retains the store’s six-story steel-and-marble spiral staircase, and turns spaces conceived for leisurely shopping into ideally scaled galleries.
And the kind of art gathered in those galleries is, in its concentration, like nothing else in town.
