This is the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. There is a Guggenheim in New York, Berlin, Venis and believe it or not, Las Vegas!!!This is a spectacular building. Constructed of Limestone, Glass, Steel and Titanium! Yes, the entire outside consists of 0.5mm thick panels of aircraft grade titanium which explains why the musuem in Bilbao cost $USD100m to build back in the early nineties. Note the spider next to Paul´s head - this is the entry to the museum, courtesy of Stephen King´s "IT".
Inside are several cavernous rooms, most with permanent exhibitions, like the plate steel labyrinth, the stock market style vertical LED ticker tapes and even one outside comprising fountains, lights and fireworks!
On this occasion, the visiting exhibition was from Russia featuring many icons and master artworks from the Tsar and communist periods.
John, have you thought of donating your famous black T shirt as a permanent exhibit - it definitely has a story to tell!
