"One art please..."



Theres not much to Bilbao but its most famous for the Guggenheim building in the city. Its probly the ugliest building ever concieved but it kinda looks interesting. We concluded the architect must have been smoking something at the time. Its covered completely in panels made of titanium that are only half a millimetre thick. They are supposed to last a hundred years. Theres also no flat surfaces in the building. Everything is curved. Inside is a modern art museum. I never really understood modern art but at least the giant puppy outside looks really cool. Its about 10 metres tall and covered in flowers. They had a Russian art exibition on. It was interesting to see the influence communism had had on art over the years. Very much controlled by the government but it seems artist gradually gained more confidence in expressing their creativity in bolder ways.
