ArtBilbao Fine Arts Museum, Open Now and Reopening in October
Can you visit the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum now? Yes: it is open right now, in a 1970 building worth the visit on its own, with Ataria (bat) running to 8 October. On 5 October it becomes a different museum entirely, as the extension by Norman Foster and Luis María Uriarte opens around Richard Serra's sculpture Bilbao.
ArtBilbao Museums, What Each One Costs and When It Shuts
Which Bilbao museum should you pick? Four museums, three different closing days and three free windows that never overlap, so the weekday matters more than taste. Euskal Museoa opens on a winter Monday and is free on Wednesdays; the Itsasmuseum is free on Sundays from 5pm. Tickets are €18 at the Guggenheim and €10 at the other two.
ArtGuggenheim Bilbao Tickets, Hours and the Half-Price Window
Is there a free day at the Guggenheim Bilbao? No, but there is a recurring half-price window written into the exhibition calendar rather than the weekly timetable: 4pm to 7pm on the last day of each show. An adult ticket is €18, the reduced €9, audio guide included, and from 15 June to 7 September it opens on Mondays.
ArtItsasmuseum Bilbao, the Free Sunday Nobody Books
When is the Itsasmuseum Bilbao free? Bilbao's maritime museum opens free to every visitor on Sunday afternoons from 5pm, no residency and no membership required, and on Tuesdays to Bizkaia residents. Otherwise a ticket is €10, or €5 reduced, and under-18s never pay. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 7pm.
