Bilbao | Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao: An understated art treasure, definitely worth a visit!

#September2025

If you're planning a trip to Bilbao, besides the must-see Guggenheim, be sure to put the Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao on your list!

This small museum is about a 15-20 minute walk from Bilbao Station. Because of its small size, a thorough tour only takes about 30-50 minutes, making it a great fit in your itinerary.

And here's the great news: the museum is currently undergoing renovations, so free admission to its world-class art is a wonderful bonus. While the interior is under renovation, basic facilities like the ticket office and restrooms remain open.

While it may not be as renowned as the Guggenheim, the museum's collection is truly satisfying. It offers a comprehensive collection of masterpieces from across the ages, including works by Van Gogh, Gauguin, Picasso, and Andy Warhol.

The collection is extensive and captivating, and the museum's provided guides are very informative. The exceptional Picasso painting, in particular, is beautifully displayed and truly one of the museum's highlights, inviting you to stop and admire it.

The museum is well-organized, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The peaceful atmosphere is perfect for art appreciation, and there are plenty of benches, so you can sit down and soak in all the cultural excitement.

If you're an art lover like me, I highly recommend spending a few hours here. With its impressive collection and fascinating exhibitions, this museum is a cultural treasure you don't want to miss!
