(bill BAH oh)
| Architect: | Frank Gehry |
| Built: | 1997 |
"The building is intended to resemble a ship. Its brilliantly reflective titanium panels resemble fish scales, echoing the other organic life (and, in particular, fish-like) forms that recur commonly in Gehry's designs, as well as the river Nervión upon which the museum sits. " - Wikipedia, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao         
 Note the river Nervión at the right.  |
