Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (Bilbao)

Hotels in Bilbao

Its membership in an international network of museums gives it access to an extensive Permanent Collection that includes the entire artistic holdings of the Guggenheim Museums, including works from the Bilbao Collection. These holdings complement each other and together can offer a more comprehensive and comprehensive view of modern and contemporary art.
The Museum's artistic programming includes both presentations from the Permanent Collection and high-quality temporary exhibitions, which combine to provide the viewer with a broad and dynamic perspective of the art of our time.
The Museum building, today the most recognizable icon of the city of Bilbao, is a large titanium, stone and glass sculpture designed by the North American architect Frank Gehry. The galleries, some with surprising configurations and others with regular shapes, are articulated around a spectacular Atrium crowned by a skylight in the shape of a metallic flower.
The complex and enriching dialogue that occurs between the art on display and the uniqueness and versatility of the spaces fosters a unique and unrepeatable museum experience at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
