BASQUE. ART.
Venerated museums like the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, contemporary art and cultural centres, and the iconic Guggenheim Bilbao are just some of the extensive range of exhibition centres in the Basque Country.
Tabakalera
Since its inauguration in 2015, the Tabakalera International Centre of Contemporary Culture has hosted and inspired a range of cultural projects and institutions and has become a cultural melting pot for San Sebastian.
Guggenheim Bilbao
It is a modern art museum designed by Canadian architect Frank O. Gehry in 1997. It is an architectural icon and cultural symbol of 21st-century Bilbao. With over one million visits per year, it is the most popular museum in the Basque Country and the most well-known internationally.
