The Guggenheim Museum in New York will not be yellow

New York - The Guggenheim Museum in New York, which is currently undergoing reconstruction, will not have a yellow facade after its completion. The city’s preservation office made that decision on Tuesday, despite the fact that the building originally had a yellow hue according to architect Frank Lloyd Wright's designs.
    After the reconstruction, the museum will have a light gray color. It will be the same shade that the building has had since 1992.
    Two members of the commission responsible for the reconstruction advocated for a return to the original yellow facade. They argued that Wright would have preferred warmer colors for his building. In contrast, museum representatives were not interested in changing the appearance of the building.
    The Guggenheim Museum is among the most famous museums in New York. It was founded in 1937 and moved to the building designed for it by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1959. In 1963, the original yellow facade was repainted, and the museum has since displayed several different shades of gray.
    The building began undergoing repairs after cracks appeared in its walls. The work will cost $29 million (525 million crowns) and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2008.
