Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is the result of an exceptional collaboration between the Basque Institutions –Basque Government and Provincial Council of Biscay– and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Today, the Museum is a reality that has surpassed the most ambitious artistic and cultural expectations, and has made an extraordinary contribution to the urban, economic, and social regeneration of Bilbao, Biscay, and the Basque Country.

It is the Museum’s Mission to collect, preserve, and research modern and contemporary art and to exhibit it in the context of the History of Art from multiple perspectives and aimed at a wide and diverse audience, in order to contribute to the knowledge and enjoyment of art and the values it embodies, within the framework of an emblematic example of architecture, as a fundamental piece of the Guggenheim Constellation of museums and as a symbol of the vitality of the Basque Country.
