The night photograph captures the Guggenheim Museum in its most spectacular guise, with lighting that enhances the titanium surfaces and creates golden reflections on the calm waters of the Nervion River. On the left, the red arch of the De la Salve bridge, a 2007 artistic intervention by Daniel Buren, adds a touch of color to the scene. The lights of surrounding buildings are reflected in the water, creating an effect of continuity between architecture and reflection. The museum, which at night takes on an almost science-fiction appearance, attracts visitors from around the world. This view from the river side is one of the most iconic in Bilbao.
