THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO CLOSES 2010 WITH 956,417 VISITORS
The number of visitors in 2010 has risen almost 6% over the previous year.
In 2010, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao attracted 956,417 visitors, almost 6% more than in 2009. With this rise, the Museum exceeded the expectations for this year with the dismal economy worldwide, meaning that this figure can be considered extremely positive.
In terms of visitors geographic origin, the most important new development in 2010 is the two-point rise in foreign visitors, who now account for 62% of the total. The countries sending most visitors are France, the United Kingdom and the USA. Domestic visitors accounted for 25% of the total, and visitors from the Basque Country 13%, similar figures as last year.
An interesting fact is the rise in local visitors in the last quarter of the year, 11.4% more than the previous year and 26.7% of the total. The main reason for their visits was the exhibition on Golden Age Dutch and Flemish painting.
