introduction
Designed by American architect Frank Gehry, the •

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao building represents a
magnificent example of the most groundbreaking
architecture of the 20th century. With 24,000
square meters of surface area, of which 11,000 are
dedicated to exhibition space, the Museum
represents an architectural landmark of
audacious configuration and innovative design,
providing a seductive backdrop for the art
.exhibited within it

,The site-specific works
The site-specific works, made by contemporary

artists in dialogue with both the interior and the
exterior of the building designed by Frank Gehry,
make a significant part of the Guggenheim
.Museum Bilbao Collection
Once in the plaza, visitors access the Hall by making their way
down a broad stairway
Material
When you think about titanium, the first objects that come to
mind are probably golf clubs and airplane parts. Characterized
by its high strength to weight ratio, this lightweight material is
expensive, and only rarely used as an exterior building
material, which is why it was not originally considered for the
museum. Exactly 42,875 titanium panels make up the iconic
facade of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. The story of the
selection, purchase, processing and application of this metal is
both calculated and serendipitous. The best-known obstacles
in this saga were connected to the circumstances surrounding
its purchase: at the time, titanium was more than twice the
.cost of steel
The intrinsic benefits of titanium range from its strength to its resilience
—the metal does not oxidize. These qualities of the material were
known and exploited as the building’s construction details were worked
out. Case in point: the paper-thin (.38 mm) titanium panels ripple in the
wind by design. Stainless steel clips are positioned at the midpoint of
each panel between traditional lock seams, causing the metal to billow
rather than lie flat. Moreover, the transformative quality of the facade
of the museum—that epochal golden glow—was also carefully
calibrated. After the titanium was mined in Russia it was processed and
rolled by Timet (Titanium Metals Corporation) in Pittsburgh.
Experiments were conducted over the course of a year to ensure that
just the right combination of chemicals and heat were used during the
rolling process to create the surface quality that seems to effortlessly
.transform in response to Bilbao’s sky
For the outer skin of the building, the architect chose
titanium after ruling out other materials and seeing the
behavior of a titanium sample pinned outside his office.
The finish of the approximately 33,000 extremely thin
titanium sheets provides a rough, organic effect, adding to
the material's color changes depending on the weather
and light conditions. The other two materials used in the
building, limestone and glass, harmonize perfectly,
achieving an architectural design with a great visual
impact, which has now become a real icon of the city
.throughout the world

Inside
It is possible to walk all the way around the Museum,
admiring different configurations from various
perspectives as well as a number of artworks installed
outside by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Daniel Buren,
Eduardo Chillida, Anish Kapoor, Yves Klein, Jeff Koons, and
.Fujiko Nakaya
The Museum site is crossed at one end by La Salve Bridge,

which, since 2007, supports the sculpture by Daniel Buren,
commissioned by the Museum, entitled Arcos rojos / Arku

The Matter of Time
The Matter of Time

Ground floor, gallery 104
The Matter of Time (1994–2005), a one-of-a-kind permanent

installation by Richard Serra, is one of the icons of the Guggenheim
Museum Bilbao Collection
The artist advises visitors to come into gallery 104 for a side view
of the installation, then taking the glass elevator to the 2nd floor
for a panoramic view and finally returning to the ground floor to
wander about, taking a look at the sculptures in no particular
.order
Stretching under the bridge, gallery 104—an
enormous, column-free space that houses
Richard Serra’s installation The Matter of Time—
ends in a tower, a sculptural gesture that brings
the architectural design to a crescendo and
appears to envelop the colossal bridge,
.effectively incorporating it into the building

Atrium
Ground floor, Atrium
The Atrium, over 50 meters high, is the beating

heart of the Museum and one of the central
spots of Frank Gehry’s design. It also makes a
wonderful venue for cultural activities and
.events
Once inside the Hall, visitors access the Atrium, the real heart
of the Museum and one of the signature traits of Frank
Gehry's architectural design. With curved volumes and large
glass curtain walls that connect the inside and the outside, the
Atrium is an ample space flooded with light and covered by a
great skylight. The three levels of the building are organized
around the Atrium and are connected by means of curved
walkways, titanium and glass elevators, and staircases. Also an
exhibition space, the Atrium functions as an axis for the 20
galleries, some orthogonally shaped and with classical
.proportions and others with organic, irregular lines
