Bilbao
By Roz Andrews: The port of Bilbao, in the Basque region of north-east Spain, has increased in popularity as a tourist destination since the opening in 1997 of the Museo Guggenheim.
Beside the Nervión River, the Museo Guggenheim, designed by the architect, Frank O. Gehry, is housed inside a collection of strangely-shaped titanium, glass and limestone blocks that reflect the light at odd angles.
Inside, light floods into the central atrium through glass walls and a skylight in the domed roof. The museum’s unconventionally shaped galleries include the largest exhibition hall in the world, 426 feet long, built under the La Salve Bridge.
Museo Guggenheim is devoted to modern art, including Pop Art, minimalism, abstract and expressionist art, as well as the work of local Basque and Spanish artists. See Bilbao travel deals!
