The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is simply stunning. Few exhibits can compete with the architecture and last week one whole floor was closed for a changover anyway.

Outside, Louise Bourgouise’s giant spider ( “Maman” ) looks great against the background of the pedestrian area alongside the river. Last time I saw it here I thought it must have been on its travels from the Tate Modern but then it reappeared in London ( as witnessed by the jellyART Club outing last summer ) and it’s still in Bilbao so I conclude there may have been more than one sculpture cast from the same moulds, although I can’t be sure of this.
