Bilbao Fine Arts Museum
Bilbao Fine Arts Museum
Museum

Some of the characteristics of the Fine Arts Museum that manifested themselves back at the very beginning are still recognisable even today: characteristics, for example, such as the museum's close ties with public institutions who coincided with the museum in the desire to make Bilbao a cultural reference point. The important donations and legacies from both institutions and private individuals received by the museum in the first years of its life established the future lines along which the Collection would grow. Another of the museum's characteristics is its desire to be contemporaneous which, back in its beginnings, was in response to the concerns of the local artistic community. This wager for contemporaneousness materialised some ten years later when a new museum dedicated to Contemporary and Modern Art was founded. Thus, the Museum of Modern Art which was originally located in Council buildings, opened its own doors in 1924. Its first Director was painter Aurelio Arteta.

The Euskalduna Conference Centre is a unique building and one of the flagships of new, 21st century Bilbao Euskalduna Jauregia – Palacio Euskalduna. S.A. is a publicly run company owned by the Provincial Council of Bizkaia. The building was designed by architects Federico Soriano and Dolores Palacios to resemble a ship under construction, because it stands on the site formerly occupied by the Euskalduna shipyard. It won the Enric Miralles award for architecture at the 6th Spanish Architecture Biennial in 2001. This 58,200 m² multi-purpose complex is located in the heart of the city of Bilbao, close to the international airport. It hosts a wide range of economic, business, academic, political, institutional, social and cultural events. It is the home of the city’s opera season, organised by ABAO (Friends of the Opera of Bilbao), one of the most highly renowned in Spain and indeed Europe. It is also the home base of the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra (BOS), which was founded in 1920 and has been performing since 1922. The building contains a range of venues for meetings and entertainment purposes (an auditorium, congress halls, meeting rooms, offices, foyers and a splendid exhibition hall) along with service areas featuring storage space, cloakrooms, dressing rooms, rehearsal rooms, etc

Designed by American architect Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao building represents a magnificent example of the most groundbreaking 20th-century architecture. With 24,000 m2, of which 11,000 are dedicated to exhibition space, the Museum represents an architectural landmark of audacious configuration and innovating design, providing a seductive backdrop for the art exhibited in it. Altogether, Gehry's design creates a spectacular sculpture-like structure, perfectly integrated within Bilbao's urban pattern and its surrounding area.
