 Exposición permanente:
The collection of the present Bilbao Fine Arts Museum originated with the merger of the old Museo de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Museum), inaugurated in 1914, and the Museo de Arte Moderno (Museum of Modern Art), opened in 1924.
Remarkable for its ample chronological coverage (from the 12 th century to the present day) and for the extraordinary variety of artworks acquired since its inception, the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum's collection currently boasts more than six thousand works including paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings and decorative objects.
The Museum houses three main collections:
- Old Art: El Greco, Zurbarán, Murillo, Ribera, Goya, Van Dyck, etc.
- Contemporary Art: Gauguin, Bacon, Oteiza, Chillida, Tàpies, Barceló, etc.
- Basque Art: Regoyos, Zuloaga, Echevarría, Iturrino, Arteta, etc.
