Step by Step
Enjoy a guided tour of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao with this skip-the-line ticket. You won't have to queue and you'll be able to take a 2-hour tour of the building and its works. When you book, you'll have to choose which language you want to take the tour in. You can choose English or Spanish.
During the tour you will be accompanied by an expert guide who will tell you the history and anecdotes about the works, artists and architecture of one of Spain's most important museums. You will meet him at the agreed time outside the museum, right next to the iconic flower dog Puppy.
Some of the museum's featured works and artists include:
- Miquel Navarro's City Wall: an architectural landscape created by one of the most prominent artists in contemporary sculpture.
- Warhol's Shadows: consists of 102 canvases depicting extreme joy and bright tones. Throughout the exhibition you can see the positive and the negative of the "shadows".
- Villa Borghese by Kooning: the work is inspired by a landscape of Rome, mixing different tonalities that allude to the sun, the sky, the grass and the water.
After the visit, you can stay as long as you want inside the museum. You will have an audio guide in several languages so you can continue your research on your own or expand your knowledge of the works you liked the most.
