Guggenheim Museum

Bilbao, Spain
Architect Frank Gehry designed the Guggenheim Museum, located in the port city of Bilbao, to resemble a ship, with its reflective titanium panels mimicking fish scales. Lauded by Time magazine as the “building of the century,” the museum was completed in 1997 at a cost of $100 million and features Gehry’s signature curvy, free-form sculptural style. Movie lovers might recognize the building from its cameo appearance in the opening sequence of the 1999 James Bond film, “The World Is Not Enough.”

Ideal Palace of Ferdinand Cheval

Hauterives, France
In 1879, French mail carrier Ferdinand Cheval began building a structure that was inspired by the shape of a stone he tripped over one day. Thirty-three years and many, many stones later, Cheval’s “Ideal Palace” was completed in Hauterives, France. Made of stones bound together with lime, mortar and cement, the palace is considered an extraordinary example of naïve art architecture.
