Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

Ten years of art in Bilbao, sheathed in titanium

Volumes and perspectives, sinuous titanium curves, dazzling light and colour ... An combination of elements that create a unique exhibition space for each gallery. Art and architecture join hands in a truly unique museum experience.

The mission of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is to collect, conserve, and study modern and contemporary art, to exhibit the art of our times from a variety of perspectives in the context of art history, and to reach a broad and diverse audience .

As one of the cornerstones of the Guggenheim Museum Network, and a symbol of the Basque Country's vitality, we hope to promote an understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of art and its values in an iconic architectural setting.
