Review & FAQ:
A good amount of a visit to the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao could be spent just outside, staring in awe at the glass and titanium cladding and flowing lines. Completed in 1997 and designed by Frank Gehry, the museum helped put the city in northern Spain on the map and houses works by many different artists, including Anslem Kiefer, Yves Klein, Eduardo Chillida, Jeff Koons, and Anish Kapoor. This ship-like metal building is made up of nineteen galleries that give precedence to Basque artists. Larger works of art can be seen on display outdoors in the Bilbao “Art District.”
