Growing The Guggenheim (Abroad)

Things haven’t been so good for the Guggenheim lately at home. No matter – director Thomas Krens has always had a global vision. So “yesterday he and Cesar Maia, the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, signed an agreement to build a $130 million museum on Mauá Pier in Guanabara Bay. Rio will be the sixth city with Guggenheim museums and exhibition spaces, joining Berlin; Venice; Las Vegas; and Bilbao, Spain, as well as New York.”
