a preview of what's coming up. man of the moment the german magazine picks its crop of male celebrities. museum of the yeah i'm a guggenheim museum bilbao feel the city's revival. meal of the day a polish deli in berlin serves up a classic dish of zurich. now every year the magazine g.q. germany takes a stab at answering a tricky question what makes a real man this year that annual men of the year awards took place here in berlin and. was honored as the legend of the century but it's not just body building that puts you in with a shot of winning euro max reporter hendrick veiling went to find out what sort of qualities are needed to make you man of the year. see his head. many titles mr universe hollywood star governor of california now the german edition of style magazine g.q. has added another accolades to trucks and a guest list. legend of the century. is yummy. believe it and didn't remember action action action thank you very even better muscles muscles muscles at least that's the message i get i'm handling you're a mix reporter and i'm always pursuing the latest trends in men this. is but it's now i want to see how important muscles are to being a man today or what being a man means goes. i'm in the right place here on the red carpet at the g.q. goddess celebration looking to compete with the prize winners. men often here like the two musicians gregory potter and mark foster spots i can feel of love. and actor but yes right before they all say muscles are prerequisite. yet again all that just as important as character. muscles can hurt this set of course they help turn a guy into a real man who had some nothing to say much conflict or something nasty there always in poland is inconsistent. but only one guy here really knows about muscles and all shots and i go from a bodybuilding world champion and mr universe if you to me and 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 if i'm shooting thank you 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 on. yes i'm beat but i have to continue if i want to pump up my biceps. and neither can anyone to look like that afterwards. so i have the qualities for it or they're going to come as a nine that's what the show you do is have a course you have to have a lot of discipline of work hot out it's to reach the level of shots and i got out of it it's a poem gunshots and. no pain no gain but is it worth it. who would know that better than women. when to end it is rose who needs. to be muscle bound to be manly and yes most of these are not necessary but it doesn't hurt that i prefer a strong mind to strong muscles it's mia. well well but everywhere i go i'm confronted with heroic images of masculinity by the dragon slayer is a lion taking us. high time to consult some predecessors in the collection of artifacts in billions of dismissive the body called in the bench in greece and rome can be seen as the origin of todays ideals of mescaline beauty but even back then muscles weren't everything. so in shock and it was important to the greeks to bring their ideal of beauty together with a certain mentality or a beauty in the mind and spirit. the greeks had a word. for the combination of beauty and nobility it wasn't just about the body. today's world is beginning to realize the importance of balancing body and soul and expressing it through style. in the fine i think i still draw this fine line and not just in bodybuilding but in all areas and i and if someone crosses it if it gets to be too much gnashing is good and. does what i say it's right up to that line it's brilliant. but must focus on just five body bill. this who struck this stuff. trying to plan these 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 get up in your shoulders and i doubt you could make a movie with a trumpet player muscles but you could maybe become a world star but i think the biggest muscle that i use is my brain i'm trying to and my heart i'm trying. to open people's minds up and open people's hearts with music. it seems that men and muscles and such of that combination but without a heart or a brain they're not much use. twenty seventeen's man of the year not even arnold schwarzenegger 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. after three months of silence big

dishes prepared by three star chef frédérique until. an extraordinary castle in france is up for sale the eighteenth century sixty two room chateau on the road while river once belonged to my dad. a

culture and heritage there are endless cultural projects throughout the continent but how they reach the public depends on who is responsible for the marketing and communication the european culture brand awards recognize outstanding efforts to promote culture on the continent on thursday euro max was on hand at this year's event to find out who's making the biggest impact. the movers and shakers

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 see the news it was time until i left the temporary exhibitions and everything life into the museum for me the museum is beautiful aspirational and inspiring for me shapes straight and flat elements to me it's very interesting. the museum also showcases art works outdoors jeff koons puppy is a particular favorite. and many are fascinated by louis' bush was huge spider sculpture. inside the museum more

like textile artist on the album. 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 a dark day is a success story. in fashion it took maybe that's because the museum lets visitors establish a kind of relationship to the outwards. and look at the new not enough you don't know if that isn't possible in any other museum in the world can and will want to know not if the architecture plays an important role with them even if 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 thomas could not feel that this was a real city with an economy traditionally to steel and shipbuilding people feel that those industries were in decline and unemployment was rampant. notionally i don't i remember and economically the city lay in really nice and i was going to make all that me almost nothing i still ha. 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 intro of
