GO!!!

Enzo and I were there a couple of years ago. The museum is one of the
most beautiful buildings I've ever seen.

It's full of ART, Pat! ;-)

Take both the audio tour of the collection AND the building itself
("admire the wonderful surface. Go ahead, touch it!")

We saw a wonderful retrospective of Alexandre Calder's work when we were there.

They also have fountains that emit smoke and ones that emit fire and
one of the biggest indoor spaces I've ever seen (aside from the
turbine room at the Tate Modern). And Jeff Koons' giant floral puppy
dog (it's a westie, Joyce!)

It's really worth the trip.

And don't forget to spend some time in Bilbao as well. The town has
really come up in the world.

We had a great time.

Russel
