Final Paper on the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum Formal System or Arrangement The museum was below the level of the city‚ which‚ given that it’s in the center of a geocultural triangle‚ makes it seem like the cultural foundation of the city. This idea is further supported since the museum was supposed to “let the inhabitants take their city back” and “get back their civic pride.” 1 There were steps that lead down to the entrance of the museum and in front of the entrance was an empty space called the
