and actor but yes sure i get what they all say muscles operate requisite. the idea of going all that just as important as character. muscles can hurt this set of force that helped turn a guy into a real man who had some nothing to say much conflict there's something nasty there always in poland is inconsistent. but only one guy here really knows about muscles on all shots and i go from a bodybuilding world champion and mr universe defeats in the end this is the training intensity is the most important thing mune it was my stepping stone to america i used to train for five hours a day in munich from shooting take it to me it. well i can do that too i think and throw myself down on the weight bench. like ten million other fitness to do members in germany but after half an hour training i lose interest ought to be

stuff. as a trumpet player and he's muscles but in his face that you have to exercise them just as often they don't get as big as the ones you don't up in your shoulders and i don't you can make a movie with trumpet player muscles but you could maybe become a world. but i think the biggest muscle that i use is my brain and i'm trying to and my heart i'm trying. to open people's minds up and open people's hearts up with music and men and most it seems that men and muscles on such a bad combination but without a heart or a brain they're not much use. twenty seventeen's men. after years not even a chance and i get would have gotten very far if he'd relied solely on the power of his muscles. well from great men to big ben it's time for a quick roundup of what's happening in europe today and first we had to london to visit the iconic clock.

impacting the cultural and economic landscape of bilbao. with the guggenheim in bilbao we've seen a multilevel impact is. also the museum's twentieth anniversary and it's this real uniqueness this unique bilbao effect that is being talked about all over the world and this is something that is truly unprecedented and we have had a great you know i knew their story so these. their six and two or yeah fine if there's three thank you very much. the european cultural brand the war it's an evening of support the tubes to benefit the arts. well congratulations to the guggenheim on a stunning twelfth when and as if that's not enough let's look at the numbers the museum in bilbao has attracted twenty million visitors in the last twenty years and it has done much more than to light its visit as its strong influence on the region

has led experts to hold it responsible for a socio economic phenomenon the so-called bilbao effect. so we wanted to give you the chance to see for yourselves what makes this award winning museum so special. the guggenheim museum bilbao the spectacular architecture draws large numbers of visitors making it crucial to the local economy in spain's basque country. we came all the way over here from vancouver canada to secede and it was time until i left the temporary exhibitions and everything life into the museums. the museum is beautiful a special and inspiring curvy shapes straight and flat elements to it it's very interesting to. the museum also showcases art works outdoors jeff koons puppy is a particular favorite. and many are fascinated by louise bush was huge spider sculpture. inside the museum more cutting edge twentieth and twenty first

century artworks await the visitors the eleven thousand square meters of exhibition space drawing the crowds with temporary exhibitions of high profile names like textile artist. or video artist bill viola. richard serra's remarkable walk in steel sculptures are part of the museum's own permanent collection. but visitors don't come only for the art there's also exquisite basque food. the guggenheim in bilbao is the first guggenheim to offer a michelin star cuisine. the museum run by bilbao native juan ignacio be dark day is a success story. the fashion it took maybe that's because the museum lets visitors

establish a kind of relationship. with the new not enough here on earth that isn't possible in any other museum in the world going anywhere. want to know the architecture plays an important role. it's allowed us to showcase modern art in a unique way. the on spiralling building marked a pinnacle in the career of the u.s. canadian architect frank gehry after four years of construction work it was inaugurated in one nine hundred ninety seven as a spinoff of new york's guggenheim museum it was a risky undertaking in the one nine hundred ninety s. when bill was grappling with a decline in its local coal and steel industries not exactly fertile ground for an art museum. plus one this was the middle of the city with an economy traditionally steel and shipbuilding and people feel that those industries were in decline in unemployment was rampant. and economically.

today bill by was considered a prime example of a city rejuvenated by investment in architecture and infrastructure it's prospered from tourism a phenomenon that's been dubbed the bilbao effect and more cultural institutions are coming like the os as intro of a new renovated by french designer philippe starck. the use the term effect to describe the process of reform and the transformation of the city. from within the life of the environmental social economic and cultural dimensions of this process that will battle affect times acquirers who want to copy it all over the wellington and when all that is on the locals say the guggenheim bilbao put their city on the world map with one point two million visitors last year the museum surpassed numbers for new york's original guggenheim that's

generated thousands of jobs and build. but to stay successful the museum has to. main creative. life very union official and i think that digitalization helps us connect with the public but if you go that way people can access our collections virtually and compare their visits before coming back and i think if we're talking about museum needs to continue pursuing this path. but inherent in a case of and from the initiation people to celebrate the museum's twentieth anniversary in october light artists projected images from bilbao as industrial age on to the buildings exterior. the past meets a glowing future at the guggenheim bilbao. now it's time for the final installment in our series indulging experiments all this week we've been taking you behind the scenes at some of the more unusual
