EXCURSION TO BILBAO GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM (Tuesday, June 22)

• Gehry's huge sculpture-like building is fashioned from a surprising array of materials and endowed with an extraordinary, unmistakable silhouette. Under the apparent chaos caused by the juxtaposition of fragmented volumes with regular forms finished in stone, curved forms covered with titanium and huge glass walls, the building revolves around a central axis, the atrium, a monumental empty space crowned by a metal dome. Daylight floods in through the glass walls and the skyligtht set high up in the dome.
  
  
• Outward journey to Bilbao through the Inland of the Basque Country.
  
  
• Sightseeing at the Guggenheim Museum.
