Yesterday, all that a museum spokesman would say was that the building opened to the public in October 1959.

Further action And on Thursday, Guggenheim Neighbors will file appeal papers in State Supreme Court seeking to overturn the decision of the Board of Standards and Appeals. "We can only stop expansion by winning the appeal," Buckler said. "But landmarking can affect future expansion by the museum because any additional plans would have to be approved by the Landmarks Commission." Guggenheim Neighbors has fought the expansion of the museum for two years. In conjunction with its court action, the group will hold a birthday party for the museum at noon at Thursday on the street near the museum. The.

party will include a large cake in the shape of the museum. The Guggenheim is one of the world's major museums devoted to modern art, owning and exhibiting many masterpieces by Mondrian, Chagall, Leger, Pollock and Rothko, among others.

By JOAN SHEPARP Manhattan Cultural Affairs Editor The Landmarks Preservation Commission announced yesterday that it will begin' preliminary discussions Tuesday on possible landmark status for the Guggenheim Museum. The museum, at E. 89th St. and Fifth designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is world-renowned and widely regarded as an architectural masterpiece. What will make this a particularly interesting commission session is that the Guggenheim Museum already has won approval for its expansion plans from the Board of Standards and Appeals.

Even if the museum gets landmark designation, the commission ruling would not affect already approved plans and permits. Preliminary decision On Tuesday, the commission will discuss whether it will calendar the building for a public hearing to formally consider the building for designation. Before the commission can start the landmarking process, however, it must decide the age of the building. In New York City, a building must be at least 30 years old before it is eligible for landmark designation. Like an aging movie star, the Guggenheim Museum has several birthdates floating around.

Guggenheim Neighbors, a group that has actively opposed the museum's expansion and is in favor of land-marking, says that the building turned 30 yesterday.
