Why go
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a modern and contemporary art museum in the Abando district of Bilbao; this record is the museum together with the Frank Gehry building it occupies, and it is not the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. The museum's own site says it came from a partnership between the Basque institutions and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and opened in October 1997, and its building page describes three levels organised around a central atrium. The museum's hours and admission page says every ticket includes an audio guide, asks visitors to buy tickets on the museum's official website to avoid ticket fraud, and offers a combo ticket that covers both the Guggenheim and the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum. Opening days and hours are set by the museum and change, so check its site before you go.
