This is the Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. It was opened in 1997 and houses Modern and Contemporary Art. It's covered in Titanium, and is meant to look like a ship or waves. It houses mainly 20th century art, with installations and electronic forms making up the majority of the forms. They also house themed exhibitions and I saw an exhibition of Russian Art (a bit depressing) and of South American archaeological relics (fantastic!)
Jeff Koons' "Puppy". It's cute, and I like it a lot more than his other work (which ranges from the sickeningly kitsch to outright pornographic), but to me it's a flower arrangement!
"Maman", Louise Bourgeois. This is one of the 7 bronze casts in existence.
