Bilbao poster

Lotza takes you on a journey to Bilbao in this original work. Explore the Guggenheim Museum and the majestic 10-meter-high spider sculpture called Maman, designed by Louise Bourgeois. The work refers to Louise Bourgeois's mother, whom she lost at the age of 21, and the bonds she had formed with her. Don't worry, this spider is harmless!
