Worth seeing the building in the flesh as it's iconic. May be better viewed from across the river. The interior is ok. The exhibits are not that interesting or good overall in my opinion.Full review by colinbP5046LN

The building is stunning, and with the Maman and Puppy, the surroundings are 5*. The layout is great with very big rooms so doesn't feel crowded. The exhibits probably 4*. All in I would recommendFull review by RichardB4394

TA tells me I am in the top 1% of Contributors, with nearly 1k reviews and 5k Photographs. Not sure I believe them, but I have had an active 9 years. Joining in January 2016. Think it applies to much of SM, not just TA. I think most of those who use SM have a sub 50 IQ, like Humpty Dumpty Trumpty. The vast majority of questions can be answered by looking at the Website of the Hotel / Restaurant. Last resort, pick up the Phone. Calls via WhatsApp are FREE to anywhere in the world.

My wife and I are arriving in the port of Bilbao at 8:00 AM on Thursday September 14. What time will the museum open that day? What is the best/quickest way to get to and from the museum? Does the museum offer its own private tours and, if so, what is the cost for 2 people?

From their website it looks like it is open Tuesday to Sunday starting at 10:00 AM. I would think a taxi is the best way to get there. We arrived on a cruise and the shuttle bus into the city dropped us a few blocks away from the museum, so we did not need a taxi. If you are on a ship, they should provide a tourist map, which will help. You need to buy tickets. You can do this online. I do not know about tours, but the museum is breathtaking in architecture and easy to navigate.
