Guggenheim Bilbao (2) - 27 September 2014

Architectural detail of Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao.

When the Museum opened in 1997, it brought new prominence to Bilbao. It is certainly worth travelling to see the architecture although a longer debate could be had about most of the art. However, the stern critic might find the building, especially the exterior, needlessly elaborate. I applaud innovation in architecture but have reservations when form goes well beyond any conceivable function.
