Lots of the views from that modern museum were overlooking the sea or the port. I loved seeing the blue-green sea when I looked down beneath the structure.

Modern architecture and art makes my brain more alert to interpretation because it presents such a different set of circumstances than the usual. There is a new museum in Aspen that makes use of glass and reflection. I hope to visit it on our next trip to Aspen.

It was a rather marvellous place to visit - even though I often prefer classsical architecture, this was so cleverly designed that it was impossible not to be impressed and enthralled!
