Great list, but unless there's more than one Guggenheim museum,
it is not in SoHo, its on the upper east side, 1071 Fifth Avenue at
89th Street. See http://www.guggenheim.org/ for details.

There is.

There's a branch in Soho. It's a small branch, though, and I would
rate it as not worth taking a trip to and probably not really worth
visiting unless they have an interesting temporary exhibit.
