90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
Mr Hoskins gave a well planned and concise presentation.
I hope some day to travel to Bilbao to visit the Guggenheim Museum. In the meantime, I will depend on David's outstanding seminar ... so well presented and organized. David gave us a great understanding of the history and development of the Museum and then took us inside to view some of the collection. Terrific in every way!

David Hosking immediately presented a "sense of place" with the early history of the Bilbao site and then linked the Guggenheim Museum to the Guggenheim family with just a few sentences. He then described the early career of Frank Gehry with the highlights that led to the dazzling design and play of light on the structure reflecting from the surface of Titanium. Just a few artists were highlighted in the collection. The lecture was perfectly balanced with just enough information to make me want to book my air travel to Bilbao. I loook forward to spending hours in the museum and walking by the river.
David gave an excellent look at the development of the Guggenheim in Bilbao. Certainly increased my interest in getting to visit it.
