Like a titanium ocean-going liner moored in the Bilbao estuary, this museum is a surprise from the moment you catch a glimpse of it in one of the great avenues that converge at the La Salve bridge.
Each side of the museum has a different façade resulting from the intricate shapes and forms created by the Canadian Architect, Frank Gehry. A sculptural structure which blends perfectly into the Bilbao skyline and the surrounding area, it has become an undisputed icon of the city.
