Large spiral staircase

[Eater Sundae]

A Viking Cruises advert on daytime TV shows a large spiral staircase, viewed from above.

 

Also, I recall once seeing a film with a gunfight inside a building with what looked like a similar staircase. In the film, the staircase was wide with shallow risers, either that or it was a continuous ramp, with display rooms off it (as though the rooms might rise in steps as you go round the building). Probably a famous art gallery or museum.

 

Does anyone know the building in the advert, the building in the film (whether the same or different), and the title of the film? The film was probably a spy type thriller.

 

Thanks

Was that movie 'the international' with Clive Owen? If so, the building is the Guggenheim museum in NYC.

Yes, that's probably it, thanks. The staircase in the advert is completely different, though, so my mind clearly playing tricks if I ever thought they might be the same.

Try the Abbey at Melk https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melk_Abbey cycled there twice.

Vatican museum?

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's it, thanks.

 

The embarrassing thing is that I've been there, and forgotten.
