What To Expect

Let your eyes admire the almost impossible shapes and reflections that the museum offers to your eyes from the titanium skin that protects the museum infrastructure.
Enjoy the pieces of art from artists such as Andy Warhol, Anselm Kiefer, Jean-Michel Basquiat and the local Basque sculptors of Eduardo Chillida and Jorge Oteiza.
