Customer Reviews
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 for older folks. Great gift shop for a memento. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
Stunning architecture and thoughtfully curated exhibits. The building itself is a work of art and sets the tone before you even walk in. Easy to explore, inspiring, and a great way to understand Bilbao’s architectural identity. A must see when visiting the city.
This museum opened in 1997 and is a landmark modern and contemporary art museum designed by Frank Gehry. The building itself is a monumental work of Deconstructivist architecture. Its iconic titanium-clad exterior reflects light and weather, constantly changing color and appearance throughout the day. Outside and inside the museum are several internationally recognized works, including Puppy by Jeff Koons, Maman by Louise Bourgeois, and The Matter of Time by Richard Serra. The museum focuses mainly on temporary and rotating exhibitions, ensuring that each visit can feel different. Beyond art, the Guggenheim Bilbao is widely credited with sparking the revitalization of Bilbao, helping transform a declining industrial city into a global center for culture, design, and tourism. This transformation—often referred to as the "Bilbao Effect"—is now studied worldwide as a leading example of successful urban regeneration.
