[...] what does the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao resemble?


Explanation:
Magari questo verbo potrebbe essere adatto (visto che si può riferire sia a persone che a oggetti) https://dictionary.cambridge.org/it/dizionario/inglese/resem...
Esempio (tratto dal link): "His latest sculpture resembles an enormous seashell."
