Why go
The collection gives a longer view of art than the Guggenheim's modern and contemporary focus. Paintings associated with El Greco, Goya and Van Dyck sit within a broader sequence that also reaches Basque artists and twentieth-century work. Its origins in two separate Bilbao museums help explain that range. The park setting makes this an easy area to combine with a walk through Doña Casilda.
What to look for
- A collection that crosses Basque, Spanish and wider European art.
- Works by Goya, Van Dyck and Basque painter Aurelio Arteta in the collection.
- The museum building sits within Doña Casilda Iturrizar park.
Useful to know
- Check the museum’s official opening status before planning an indoor visit.
- If the galleries are unavailable, visit nearby Doña Casilda park instead.
