This building together with it hosting The David Hockney
Exhibition was our reason for staying two nights here. It was the right
decision for we enjoyed our stroll through the riverside streets and the
experience of ‘The Guggenheim’. Rio Nervión is the central thread of one of the
capital cities of The Basque Country. Steep sides either side dominate the sky
line as well as ten floors of apartment blocks. Some of it is old but modern is
everywhere. The streets are clean with hardly any graffiti.
Well done, the Basques.
Modern is what you will say about the ‘museo’. I am not
going to describe it you can see it for yourself because that is what everyone
should try to do. The exhibition is wonderful and we have bought a very large
book to remind us and to show you.
Both are inspiring works, one of architecture and the other
of paintings. The paintings explore
Hockney’s idea of his journey and of how to put space in his work. What an
inspirational experience. His technological use of ‘The Ipad’ is exceptional.
We would do it all again.
