Guggenheim, Bilbao

The weather has changed!!
Cold and wet and worse to come over the weekend!
Headed to Bilbao along a crazy motorway which was like doing a lap of the Nurburgring.

Arrived in one piece and headed to Frank Gehry's masterpiece. It has been Chocolate Moose's lifelong ambition to go to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Since it's opening in 1997 it has become one of the most admired works of contemporary architecture. It's truly an amazing building, both inside and out.
CM was very impressed by the building but felt the collection inside was a bit sparse. I suppose he is spoilt with the fantastic collection at NGV. He gave a very insightful interview which we'll try and upload.

The kids were a bit disappointed that the kids section was tiny, containing a few cushions and 2 Ikea easels and was closed!!!

Took awning down this evening, going to head south to Salamanca then onto Portugal in search of sun!
