Guggenheim or MoMA?

So it's February vacation, and my parents have decided to go on an impromptu 4 day trip to NYC. If we can only go to one art museum (due to time) should it be the Guggenheim or the Museum of Modern Art? I vote for the Guggenheim but only because of Frank Lloyd Wright.

I would say the Guggenheim, but only because of FLW. Otherwise I would to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.baggss at 2007-11-15 17:56:17 >

Art. Now I'm leaning towards MoMA because it has so much more art, at least by the artists I'd like to see (Picasso, Dali and Warhol...)papayaninja at 2007-11-15 17:58:24 >

Call me a philistine but the contents of the Guggenheim had me asking WTF? A whole floor dedicated to photographs of hands?...
A "sculpture" made out of fishing line?...
A very large white panel which looked like someone had started to decorate a wall with paint?...
Ditto but with black paint...
A lump of acrylic.....
Modern art - Bah!!
The actual building was more interesting...
...Just.

Completely agreed. I simply recommended it because they were having the FLW exhibit there. Otherwise, I'd steer clear of the place.
