Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum complex of modern and contemporary art located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain designed by Frank O. Gehry. Consisting of interconnected buildings whose extraordinary free-form titanium-sheathed mass suggests a gigantic work of abstract sculpture. Hailed as the most important structure of its time when it opened in 1997, Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has changed the way people think about museums and continues to challenge assumptions about the connections between art, architecture, and collecting. Because of their mathematical complexity, the sinuous curves were designed using a three dimensional design software called Catia, which allowed designs and calculations that, years earlier, had not been possible. Approximately 33,000 extremely thin titanium sheets provides a rough and organic effect, adding to the material’s colour changes depending on the weather and ligh while, limestone and glass, harmonize perfectly, achieving an architectural design with a great visual impact that has now become a real icon of the city throughout the world. . #bilbao #basquecountry #spain #spain🇪🇸 #spaintravel #ig_spain #españa #español #architecture #architecturephotography #travelphotography #traveller #travelersnotebook #travelporn #travelbug #modernarchitecture #frankgehry #museum #art #artgallery #beautiful #masterpiece #awesome #creative #creation #europe ##ins #instafollowers #instadaily #instagram
