Trilingual book: French, German, Spanish. The Guggenheim Museum, designed by architect Frank O. Gehry, launched a unique building boom since the end of the last millennium, marking a turning point in modern museum construction, known as the "Bilbao effect." Since then, architecture has contributed significantly to the appeal of museums and their surroundings, whether in the context of new construction, expansion, or renovation. This book presents more than 170 museums, representing the most interesting and diverse contemporary architecture of our time. Around the world, international stars and promising talents have created extraordinary achievements, buildings born from the imagination of renowned architects such as Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Santiago Calatrava, and Daniel Libeskind. Contemporary museums are no longer mere exhibition halls. Their architecture becomes predominant and, depending on the nature of the establishment, strives to connect the exterior and interior space with audacity, elegance and experimental vision. The multitude of spectacular constructions corresponds to the particular requirements of museums and exhibition buildings, and takes into account the varied typology of museums: company museum, traditional museum, technical museum or natural history museums, literature or history museums and art museums.
