There are only two spanish cities that are lucky enough to have the title “Best European Musem Of The Year.” Which makes the city of Bilbao a lucky one especially because it has the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum. This museum is characterized with one of the best architectures that is thought to be deconstructed, it is due to it´s fragmentations and non-linear design that this name is given. It is a part of the Salomon R. Guggenheim fund that was created in the year 1937 in order to promote modern art. This big, beautiful and very unique museum is located in the city of Bilbao which is a part of the Vizcaya province of Spain. It was opened in 1997 which a goal in mind, making art easier to bring to the public in order to increase it´s appreciation. This in mind especially after in the 1980´s there was a industrial crisis. Therefore this museum brought many tourists from around the world and within Spain to see this museum. Today this museum is a very big part of the city´s architecture. The architecture of this masterpiece is the american architect named Frank Gehr.

The Bilbao Guggenheim Museum has expositions that change constantly. There are many masterpieces that are given more attention because of their importance. Even though this is a museum that was built to promote modern art, during these last few years there have been some other works of art that are not a part of the modern art branch. Therefore there are Michelangelo works of art such as The Ermitage and also some works of art from Durero. There are some permanent collection that are a part of the Salomón R. Guggenheim foundation and some from the New York and Venice Guggenheim collections, as well. 

Not only does Bilbao have this extraordinary museum to see but also other musems, theatres, palaces, churches and bridges that are worth taking a look especially if you are in Bilbao, Spain.
