At this gallery, you will not only see an _ _(极好的收藏品) of pre-twentieth century Western paintings but you will also be able to _(探索) Fricks beautiful house. The garden of this lovely mansion is also _ _(很值得)a visit. Guggenheim museum 5th Avenue and 88th street This museum _(拥有)5000 modern paintings, _(雕刻品) and drawings. These art works are not all _(展览出来) at the same time. The _(展览会) is always changing. The largest park of the collection is the impressionist and post-impressionist section. The Guggenheim Museum building is world famous. When you walk into the gallery you _ _(感觉上像) you are inside a huge white sea shell.
