Jupiter
The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is a fantastic, well maintained museum full of art. We love the changing exhibitions and seeing all of the art there. This museum shares works with the one in New York, which is neat to see too. I reviewed our visit on my blog, Life with Jupiter and Dann.

The building is, as expected, iconic, but the real highlight for me was the Richard Serra works — monumental, immersive, and reason enough to visit on their own. The Yayoi Kusama installation was also very good. Interestingly, the entrance is not from the river side but from the back, which makes the first encounter slightly less dramatic than expected. Still, both the architecture and the exhibitions are extremely strong.
Paulo
Iconic showcase of art in a spectacular building. For someone who is not a big fan of art museums, I found this place very interesting and amusing. Every single room had a unique feature and I didn’t get bored even after spending 1.5hrs in here. A must-see in Bilbao! You can buy ticket online. I got there with 10 groups waiting in front of me to buy tickets so I just quickly bought it online and skipped the long queue. Only takes 2-3 mins max

Highlight of our cruise to Spain and Portugal was a visit to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The structure is iconic in itself, made of titanium sheets laid over a free-form pattern. The inner structure is just as amazing in design. Housed within, are notable creations of contemporary art. The large oil painting in black, with a small corner left natural, the work of Robert Motherwell. The labyrinth of huge steel sheets, coiled, eager to welcome curious visitors. I came away wondering, ‘what is art?’ Be sure to enlarge the paper cut-out collage. There are some worthy quotations to remember. A very reasonable 9 euros entrance fee. Great gift shop for a memento. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Such a fantastic showcase of different art forms and a spectacular building. A definite must see when you are in Bilbao. Book tickets in advance for sure as it does get busy, I booked for the first slot at 10am and it was quiet but by the time I got to the end of my visit it was much busier. Can easily spend a couple of hours in the museum itself and more outside in the sculpture gardens and walkways.
