Museum presenting important collections of paintings, engravings, sculptures and decorative arts, from the 12th century to the present day

Founded in 1908, the Museum of Fine Arts has occupied its current location since 1945, when it merged with the former Museum of Modern Art. To house its collections, a new neoclassical building was constructed in the Ensanche, on the edge of the Doña Casilda de Iturrizar Park. In the 1970s, the museum expanded with the construction of a modern building inspired by the architecture of Mies van der Rohe. Today, the museum occupies nearly 14,000 square meters, housing the 33 rooms of the permanent exhibition as well as temporary exhibitions. It presents important collections of paintings, prints, sculptures and decorative arts, covering a long period from the 12th century to the present day. The collections are organized around two main areas: ancient art, which focuses on Spanish painters (El Greco, Zurbarán, Goya) and Flemish and Dutch painting from the 15th to 17th centuries; and modern and contemporary art, with an exciting section devoted to Basque artists of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century: Zuloaga, Jorge Oteiza, Eduardo Chillida... Among the museum's flagship works, one should not miss Ribera's Saint Sebastian cared for by the Holy Women, Gauguin's Washerwomen in Arles, Zuloaga's Portrait of the Countess of Noailles or Miquel Barceló's Pumpkins. A project to extend the museum signed by Norman Foster will be completed by the end of 2023.

Ne ratez pas ce musée, qui est certes dans l'ombre de l'incontournable Guggenheim, mais qui présente une collection d'une grande richesse. Un parcours chronologique très bien fait, pour finir à l'étage supérieur avec l'art contemporain et de très belles œuvres (Barcelo, Tapies, Chillida, ...)

Ce musée est un incontournable de Bilbao. Les collections sont chouettes et les expositions temporaires également. En ce moment, vous pourrez voir une belle exposition sur Goya.
