ビルバオ・グッゲンハイム美術館
In 1997, Gehry vaulted to a new level of international acclaim when the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao opened in Bilbao, Spain. Hailed by "The New Yorker" as a "masterpiece of the 20th century" and legendary architect Philip Johnson as "the greatest building of our time", the museum became famous for its striking, yet aesthetically pleasing design and the economic effect that it had on the city.
