The Mecca to end all Meccas

10 years ago at the Guggenheim in New York, I saw a small exhibition and scale model of the Guggenheim (then recently) built in Bilbao, and a similar proposed design for New York. I was blown away by the building and truly in awe if it's beauty. Frank Gehry was inspired by clouds.... and fishes.

Finally I got to see the Guggenheim in Bilbao for myself. Being the art nerd I am, I was so excited and felt so damn lucky and appreciative to see in person what I can only describe as beautiful.
