Welcome to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao corporate site, the website that includes all institutional information about the Museum. In a firm commitment to new information and communication channels, the Museum presents on this site the philosophy that guides its actions, its strategic objectives and its social responsibility.
The creation of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao was the result of an exceptional collaboration between the Basque Administrations and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. More than two decades after its inauguration in October 1997, the Museum has exceeded the most ambitious expectations in artistic and cultural terms, and has contributed extraordinarily to the urban, economic and social regeneration of the city of Bilbao and its immediate surroundings.
The highest governing bodies of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Foundation are the Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee. For its day-to-day operations, the Museum comprises various areas of activity.
At a complex moment marked by the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao — consistent with its trajectory as a leading institution in the cultural and artistic field, as a driver of the regional economy, and as an institution always focused on elevating the human spirit through access to modern and contemporary art and its values — has developed a new Strategic Plan for the 2021–2023 period.
In a context where society is increasingly concerned about the proper functioning and use of public funds and services, institutions with a vocation to serve the general interest, such as museums, are expected to make efforts toward voluntary transparency.
The activity of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is aimed at serving the general interest, bringing culture closer to society, conveying values of tolerance and respect to the community, and contributing to public education in art.
