Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum looks set to receive a branch building, located in the countryside area close to the city. The new 100-million-euro satellite structure will be built in the UNESCO Urdaibai Nature reserve, and will be financed by local authorities, as announced by Jose Luis Bilbao, head of the Vizcaya provincial government.
The project is intended to conjugate “art, sustainability, the natural setting and economic activity in the area,” said Juan Ignacio Vidarte, director of the Bilbao Guggenheim.
The architect selected to design the museum is still unnamed, also the realization and opening timetable remains unresolved.
