Definitely the best experience for culture and art in Bilbao. Even though we took young children it was entertaining enough for everybody with famous artists and exhibitions that make you think, reading books for the young ones, and audio descriptions for older ones! Everything is beautiful inside and out.
This museum is awesome! The exhibitions were great, but only the building itself is worth the visit, outside and inside. The staff was also kind, and the museum was full (August holiday time), so it is good to buy tickets in advance, directly in their website.
Beautiful building and premises. Definitely worth seeing from outside. Unfortunately we were not big fans of the exposition inside. Way too expensive for what you get to see. If you’re not a fan of weird art and doubting to go, don’t do it.
The cafeteria is nice, tasty options.

Modern and abstract art. Not my cup of tea really. Some of the art installations were so good, they were breathtaking. Some were simply confusing, and others were so bad that I could've done better with one hand tied behind my back and a blindfold on while hopping on one leg and eating an ice cream. Worth visiting for sure, but unless you're into your existentialism, and into finding inspiration where clearly none exists, then you'll struggle to have a four or five star experience here. 3.5 stars, no more. Probably five stars if you like modern and abstract. I don't.
Unique experience, both art and architecture. Worth visiting and spending a few hours to explore. Part of the exhibition is outside so having a good weather would be nice. Lower rating as the Gift shop is extremely overpriced, you can barely find any item that is less than 20 euro.
The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is absolutely exceptional. From its exquisite architecture to it extraordinary exhibits, it's simply a must-see attraction that anyone and everyone who has the opportunity should visit. I loved every minute and look forward to the new things I'll find next time that I visit it.
Amazing experience. Visit and walking around the gigantic museum, experiencing all the shades and reflections depending on the weather of Bilbao is an experience. As well as visiting the different exhibitions continuously researched by the Museum. The ground floor with the steel curves from Serra is a must see, no space could better fit the dynamics of the art.
