1. History of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

Designed by the architect Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is an outstanding example of groundbreaking 20th-century architecture. We recommend that you begin your visit by browsing through the materials on the history of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao project, as well as the construction of its building, available on the “Guggenheim Institutions” video screens and at the computer stations in this room.

2. Inside the Museum

Explore Frank Gehry’s intriguing architecture by touring the museum’s wide variety of galleries, strolling along its walkways, and discovering the magnificent outdoor views. (Atrium)

3. Site-Specific Works

Site-specific works by contemporary artists, which engage in dialogue with spaces inside and outside the Frank Gehry building, are an integral component of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao collection. Between the Atrium and Gallery 103A is Jenny Holzer’s Installation for Bilbao (1997), and located in Gallery 104 is Richard Serra’s installation The Matter of Time (1994–2005).

(Atrium, Gallery 104, and Outside the Museum)

4. Outside the Museum

From the riverfront terrace, note how well the museum is integrated into its urban setting due to the materials used in its construction (titanium, glass, and limestone), as well as its relationship with surrounding buildings and structures such as La Salve Bridge. From here, you may also notice that the exterior of the museum serves as a venue for site-specific works from the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao collection, displaying works such as Jeff Koons’s Tulips (1995–2004), Louise Bourgeois’s Maman (1999, cast in 2001), and Daniel Buren’s Arcos rojos (2007), among others.

5. Bilbao's New Urban Layout

From the riverfront terrace, we recommend that you stroll around the exterior of the building, before venturing further. In recent years, the city of Bilbao has undergone an astounding transformation. In addition to Frank Gehry, other internationally acclaimed architects such as Santiago Calatrava, Arata Izosaki, and Rafael Moneo have designed buildings and structures that have contributed to this transformation. Walk underneath La Salve Bridge, cross over the Calatrava Bridge, and climb the stairs between the Isozaki Towers to discover the city from other perspectives. (Outside the Museum)

WE RECOMMEND

90 min

Discover details about the museum and get the inside scoop on various aspects of the exhibition program, the building, and the project itselfeven if you're a frequent visitor. Maider López Recommends. The artist recommends places, works, and details that you shouldn't miss during your visit to the museum.

1. Floor 2 Balcony overlooking Gallery 104
2. Architectural Detail: Columns
3. Enjoying the museum from the inside, looking out, or sitting on a bench to chat or reador read
4. Fujiko Nakaya, Fog Sculpture #08025 (F.O.G.) (1998)

1. Floor 2 Balcony overlooking Gallery 104

Maider López: "One of the key spots in the museum is the balcony from which you can see all of Richard Serra’s works and the Gallery 104 ArcelorMittal. You become aware of the room’s spatial distribution; you have a bird’s-eye view of what you have already experienced spatially. You discover how different it is from the experience of walking through the gallery itself." ()

2. Architectural Detail: Columns

Maider López: "As you stroll along the walkway on the first and second floors, you can see how Frank Gehry’s huge columns lean against the building. I have always enjoyed this, just walking and coming across hidden architectural details, discovering the building, seeing more than what is apparent at first glance." ()

3. Enjoying the museum from the inside, looking out, or sitting on a bench to chat or reador read

Maider López: "The museum, in addition to offering us a chance to see exhibitions and artworks, is a place in its own right. I am interested in the ability that we as visitors have to transform the museum through our own ways of experiencing it, of relating to and experimenting in it." ()

4. Fujiko Nakaya, Fog Sculpture #08025 (F.O.G.) (1998)

Maider López: "This work generates an experience, a change in the landscape, that transforms the public space. What interests me about this piece is the chance factor: you could leave the museum and never know it was there, or you could find it when it is turned on, generating new situations and a kind of complicity, like believing for one moment that fog has suddenly rolled in."
