Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation

As part of its mission, the foundation collects and preserves art for the benefit of the public in several ways. The foundation studies the art in the foundation's possession and plans exhibitions for public viewing. The foundation also lends many of the works of art in its collection to other museums on the occasion of special exhibitions that are of scholarly merit or that will broaden the public's appreciation of art. The foundation maintains extensive climate-controlled, highly secure storage facilities for the art in its collection. It also operates a photography studio for the documentation of art and archives to store photographs of art and make them available to the public for publication or study. (continued on schedule o)
