Stephen
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.

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.

The day was great, very informative yet balanced with free time to explore.

It’s world-famous for a reason! I am in no way well-versed in art but I really enjoyed all 3 floors of the museum. I appreciated the variety of media, artists, eras, and kind of art featured here. I think what made it more fun was how interactive some of them are, and some exhibitions were also larger than life. It featured both big and rising, international and local names in the industry which was a great way to highlight other people in the industry. I appreciated how organized the museum was as well. There was a Yayoi Kusama exhibition, which would normally take forever to see but they planned it very well. It was a really quick few seconds to see it but this made the line go faster and didn’t hold up anyone who wanted to see it. The featured artist at that time was also very talented and fun to see! Lots of interactive and dynamic art featured that changed the experience for the viewer every room we visited. We also didn’t buy tickets ahead and I really thought we missed our chance, but the museum allotted tickets for walk-in visitors. The line went so fast as well which we appreciated a lot. So it was a very pleasant experience!!

We enjoyed the great scenery along the journey & visiting Gaztelugatxe & Bilbao. It was lovely to enjoy a traditional lunch in the main plaza in Bilbao & have an opportunity to chat with our wonderful guide Josean before we visited the Guggenheim.
