Drawings

I’ve seen some drawings plus a mock-up model of what the new Guggenheim is going to look like. Can’t wait And by the way, did you know that that area where the Louvre is and where Guggenheim is being built, is going to be re-named into Abu Dhabi Museum City? And that next to the Guggenheim, they’ve now also started construction for the new UAE Museum of Islamic Art I’m sure that 10 years from now some other world renowned musea don’t want to seem being behind and will open up something over ther

Thanks Edo, I actually think that most versions of the Octo

are quite stunning, also the yesterday presented all steel/black dial version. But for me the titanium was very important, especially with this dial.
