The Guggenheim Museum is a museum of modern and contemporary art. It is one of several museums affiliated to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and features permanent and visiting exhibits of works by Spanish and international artists. The architect was Frank O. Gehry. The foundation stone was laid in 1993 and the museum was inaugurated in 1997 in the presence of the then King Juan Carlos. The Guggenheim Museum is one of the city's most important sights. In 2007, it welcomed its ten millionth visitor. The number of visitors is around 1 million per year, 60% of whom come from abroad. The museum has led to a revitalisation of the district, where numerous cafés, bars and small shops have sprung up. The museum was not only a great cultural enrichment for Bilbao and the entire northern Spanish region, but also an economic success, as several thousand jobs were created. The term "Bilbao Effect" is derived from the museum building and its influence on the city. Roy Lichtenstein / 1923 - 1997 /

Düsseldorf is located at the confluence of the rivers Düssel and Rhein. Most of Düsseldorf is on the right bank of the Rhine. It is the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, has about 620,000 inhabitants and a large Japanese community and is the eternal rival of Cologne, about 40 km to the south. Both cities even prefer different types of beer. While "Kölsch" is drunk in Cologne, "Alt" is drunk in Düsseldorf. The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is the art collection of the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Kunstsammlung was founded in 1961 by the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia for the purpose of displaying the art collection and expanding it through new acquisitions.
