the architecture was amazing good value at 11 euros including ear phonesThe exhibits were nothing extraordinary

Unless you love modern art I wouldn't go to the Guggenheim Museum. While the architecture of the outside is quite striking, and the "flower dog" is beautiful, the art is largely "minimalist" and for people such as my husband and I who prefer traditional or classic art, the Guggenheim is a waste of time. If you love modern art then by all means go. By way of example, my husband and I stayed perhaps half an hour, while the couple we traveled with stayed five hours. It's a matter of taste.

A huge open spaces with lots of things to see with a not easy to read map, lots of things to digest at the same time which causes a major headache. The museum have lots of modern art, and lots of interactive art! The only thing that I liked about the museum was that there was a playing area with small water fountains where my kid spent most of the morning playing..

It is worth having a private tour guide and than going back over everything after your tour. Ours was great.

I visited in July 2014. The Georges Braque exhibit was lovely, and the timeline graph of his life was so interesting. Wasn't thrilled with the Yoko Ono exhibit, but I am not a big fan of her either. However, all other things aside, it is worth it just to see the building itself, and of course, the flower puppy!

I visited the Guggenheim in 2008 and while I love the building I was disappointed in the collection on display. This time on going back with my daughter I was blown away by the "Art in Our Time" collection which was drawn from other Guggenheim museums for display. The wonderful on site sculptures were still there- Louise Bourgeois's "Maman". Jeff Koons' "Puppy". Anish Kapoor's " Tall Tree and the Eye" but also an amazing collection which included pieces by Chagall, Pollock, Keiffer, Twombly, Rauscheberg.However, the building alone is worth a visit to admire the genius of Frank Gehry- whatever is on display inside is a bonus. I would recommend a visit to this building to admire its structure and hopefully an interesting art exhibition.

It's a must-see - just for the architecture (and the puppy) - and like so many others here I was blown away by the place as well as (some of) the art inside. The audio guide was excellent and the time flew by. Surprisingly little by way of food and drink - unless you want the (fairly expensive) set lunch in the bistro. The only real disappointment was that the whole of the third floor - supposedly holding the highlights of the Guggenheim collections for much of the twentieth century - was closed. I'd done my homework, and I'd found nothing to suggest that this might be the case. It was interesting to see the hordes of small children in school parties. It's hard to imagine the equivalent groups at (say) Tate Modern in the UK.

At first I didn't get this building (or indeed some of its exhibits) for the first 30 minutes or so of my visit there yet slowly but surely, both it and they insinuated themselves into my head and there was a transformation within that surprised me. What an amazing space!

The building is a gem and bears repeated viewing from different angles. Once inside it is fascinating and I was also rather taken with the large dog outside the museum made entirely of flowers.The exhibits are typical of modern art - some you hate, some you wonder why they bothered and others are fascinating - which I guess depends on the visitor.We visited in February and the 3rd floor was closed as they are changing the exhibits so check on this if you are visiting for this purpose (I was just using some free time from a business trip). I loved the big steel plates on the ground floor and the words zipping past (exhibit 101).

Worth the trip to Bilbao just for this. Amazing architecture and very interesting exhibits. Highly recommended.

Whatever they tell you about this site is underrated. You should exprerience it yourself. Grandiose!!!

Taken many clients to and from Bilbao, many of whom only visit Bilbao to see the Guggenheim. The exterior and interior architecture is amazing and flower puppy is very popular. To me the art inside is laughable. I forced myself to look in every room in the hope that I would find something of interest but there was absolutely nothing. Some of the art really made me question how the artist can get away with it. Many pieces were "Untitled" and I find the arrogance of not giving a piece of art a title very high.

The changing art exhibition sometimes has a hard time to compete with the outstanding architecture. But the standard of quality makes this one of the top ten if not five contemporary art museums, worldwide. It puts Bilbao on the map. A friendly staff makes access easy even for very occasional art contemplators.

I was a member for a year, there were some beautiful permanent exhibitions. My favorite was the David Hockney installment! Everything from the puppy made of flowers to the fire shows in the evening made every aspect of the Guggenheim an exhibit in itself. I would highly recommend the monthly Art After Dark event also!! Many a great night had in there!
