About the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of Spain’s greatest cultural icons and one of the most internationally recognised contemporary art museums. Opened in 1997, it transformed Bilbao’s image thanks to its spectacular titanium architecture designed by architect Frank Gehry. Since then, it has become a worldwide reference where art, design and urban space come together to create a unique experience.
