Bilbao Museum

Frank Gehry's museum in Bilbao has changed the face of the city, almost alone it has brought tourism, and considerable surprise as the locals did not think that people would travel only to see a building. Many towns and cities have one emblematic structure, Sydney it's the Opera House, Barcelona the Sagrada Familia, Paris the Tour Eiffel, and London the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and in Oxford Old Tom. Good for the Guggenheim and Bilbao, which is a lovely city, especially proud of its food, and this glorious new building.
