Lonely Planet review for Museo de Bellas Artes

A mere five minutes from Museo Guggenheim is Bilbao’s Museo de Bellas Artes. The museum houses a compelling collection that includes everything from Gothic sculptures to 20th-century pop art. There are three main subcollections: classical art, with works by Murillo, Zurbarán, El Greco, Goya and van Dyck; contemporary art, featuring works by Gauguin, Francis Bacon and Anthony Caro; and Basque art, with works of the great sculptors Jorge de Oteiza and Eduardo Chillida, and strong paintings by the likes of Ignacio Zuloago and Juan de Echevarria. A useful audio guide costs €1. The museum is wheelchair accessible.

    An outstanding museum for such a small city

    roblugg recommends this,

    Some great pieces from Spanish and European masters as well as local Basque artists, the legacy of Bilbao's philanthropic Bourgeoisie, made rich by the industrial boom of the 1800's.

    Some great temporary exhibitions too. If you only pay to get into one gallery in Bilbao I'd recommend this one.
