Guggenheim Museum
Bilbao, a thrilling change that commands this period of awesome creation and activity. This movement has changed Bilbao´s face and spirit, and it has found its symbol in the Guggenheim Museum. The museum means a change in the city, but it actually depicts only a small part of a wide transformation of the new city: the subway, the Euskalduna Concert Hall, Abando Ibarra...
And, above all, it works as a symbol that rediscovers old institutions and resources that seemed a bit forgotten: the Museum of Fine Arts, the Old Quarter, the Arriaga Theatre; its commercial trade, its cuisine...
The city offers a brilliant choice for the art lovers with six different museums. This offer has been increased with the new Maritime Museum. A prestigious, experienced opera season meets with the performances by the Bilbao and Euskadi Symphonic Orchestras. Theatre finds its home in the different stages all around the city. A rich choice of small clubs will allow us to come upon every musical style and different alternative shows.
