For those who may be wondering, as I was (although from everything I'm seeing here I had already believed it to be a museum of art), the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, and located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain, and inaugurated on October 18th, 1997, by King Juan Carlos I. Built alongside the Nervion River, which runs through the city of Bilbao to the Cantabrian Sea, it is one of several museums belonging to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and features permanent and visiting exhibits of works by Spanish and international artists. It is one of the largest museums in Spain. Created by Louise Bourgeois, the metal spider sculpture in the lower right goes by the name Maman. A tribute to her own mother craft of weaving, this giant spider art is one in a series of metal spiders around the world. The giant spider sculpture, over 30 feet high and 33 feet wide, reflects both protector and predator. With silk used to both build cocoons as well as to bind prey, Bourgeous� art embodies strength and fragility... according to the artist. I myself have been an artist for many years and so I understand how any true interpretation is really up to the creator.
