Last thursday, I visited the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao. -finally- I've been wanting to see this building since I saw some pictures a few years ago. Two weeks ago, we decided ,with some friends, to go surfing in Zarautz, Spain. I can't surf( I did a nice try), but when I heard it was near to Bilbao, I had to go with them. We did two hours of train to get there from Zarautz. (and two hours back!) A few moments after we got of the train, I had eyecontact with my loved glass and titanium building. The feeling I got , I can't describe... Happy, I know I was making a dream come true. but also a bit of a disappointment, cos a big part is built under a bridge, which is a shame. Luckily, there's plenty of other spots to watch and enjoy the building without seeing this bridge (ON the bridge, for example) I walked around it twice, saw the sun breaking through the clouds and play with the titanium. Then I entered. Futuristic is the least I can say about the interior, and that is how I felt too. I felt like I arrived in the year 2500. The way the glass elevator is put in the building is breathtaking! (like the rest of the building) Pity the third floor was closed because they were building up a new exhibition, I'll have to go back sometime, and I WILL! anyways... I'm just so happy that I reached what I wanted, that I want to tell you guys. |

The building is nice, but from the pictures, it doesn't seem to blend well into its environment... |

I know! I even thought of you when I was there! It was you who told me who the architect was. In meanwhile, Frank O. Gehry is one of my favourite artists and some kind of personal hero. I look at him as a sculptor and not really as an architect. (like I look at most architects) Hehe..I just looked for some pics, so people know what I'm talking about. I tried to make some decent pics inside, but those security guards were all over the place. I almost shit my pants in the elevator,I was taking my camera while one of 'em walked in... to tell me the third floor was closed.. =o) Anyways.. I made the pics with a friend's cam, it'll take a few days before I can put them online, but I'll do my best! |

I've allways been interested in art and architecture, even studied arch one year. my interest in this building.... I think it's so fascinating because it looks very unique. I've never seen anything that even comes close to looking like this. so futuristic and abstract. It's amazing to see what kind of crazy things people can do.. I think this building looks almost surreal and that's why it's so interesting, because it IS REAL! when I was staring at it, I thought " you are looking to something impossible here" ...and I touched the impossible. =o) |
