           Today I decided to make post about famous designer Christobal Balenciaga' Museum. I don't write here when designer was born or something like this because I think all fashionist know. I think today I will tell you my sweet readers  more because may be you don't know that in Spain You can visit Balenciaga Museum. There you can see most expensive 1200 amazing pieces from Balenciaga's collection and not only.

           In 1987  Cristobal Balenciaga, the master of haute couture, was organised in San Sebastian to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of the Balenciaga Fashion House in Paris. (First couture house opened on Avenue George V in August 1937). In 1994 the Development Association of the Fundación Cristobal Balenciaga was set up. A group of enthusiasts, led by the Mayor of Getaria, set down the blueprint for the establishment of Fundación Cristobal Balenciaga Fundazioa on the 9th of October 1999. Its purpose was to raise the profile of this artistic genius and promote his work. In 2002 work on the Museum’s expansion project commences. On April 14th, 2005, the Berroeta Aldamar S.L.company is set up to provide the finance for the construction and interior work on the Cristobal Balenciaga Museum. 

            I collected photos from museum and show you.
