Wow in Bilbao

Article Abstract:

The 44 million pounds sterling Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Gehry for Bilbao, Spain, is currently nearing completion. The building, which is part of a larger urban renewal project, will play a key role in establishing Bilbao as an important cultural centre. It will not open until Oct 1997, but has already attracted considerable attention, especially as it is very unusual in appearance. Most noticeably, it is clad in a mixture of sandstone, titanium, glass and concrete render.
