Gehry, is a magnificent example of the most groundbreaking architecture to have come out of the 20th century.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is celebrating the Tenth Anniversary of its opening in 2007. The project launched more than 15 years ago as part of an ambitious Plan of Urban Regeneration, in which the Basque institutions and citizens placed great expectation, has come to maturity and experienced consolidation, not only as an element promoting transformation of the Basque Country from the cultural, urban and architectural points of view, but also as an artistic reference on an international scale. Surreal Things at Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Surreal Things displays more than 200 of the most extraordinary objects ever designed to explore the impact of this avant-garde movement—arguably the most influential of the 20th century—on architecture, design and the decorative arts. Alongside objects designed by Elsa Schiaparelli are works by Meret Oppenheim, de Chirico’s costumes and set designs for Diaghilev’s Le Bal, the ceramics and paintings of Joan Miró and Jean Arp, Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures and not forgetting the jewels produced by Alexander Calder, or Carlo Mollino’s furniture, mounted in a unique theme-based setting designed especially for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.  |
