Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain

THE GUGGENHEIM

BILBAOBILBAO, SPAIN

Who doesn’t love a

puppy?

Why not stop and smell

the flowers?

Is it okay to go in

circles?

What can art do?

In the case of the

Guggenheim, art revitalized

a city!

This museum was built as

part of the revitalization

effort for the Spanish city of

Bilbao.

The museum received 4

million visitors in the first 3

years.

This generated enough

taxes to pay for the cost of

the structure…

…which was finished on

time AND on budget!

THAT’S AMAZING!

“An astonishing

architectural feat”

– The Independent

“The greatest

building of our

time”

– Philip Johnson
