We got tickets to enjoy the exhibits within and enjoyed them. Im not a huge artist buff so we mainly walked around leisurely and had a good time.

There sculptures outside the museum are also worth a visit, including "Puppy" by Jeff Koons and "Maman" by Louise Bourgeois. We caught "F.O.G." by Fujiko Nakaya, which is active every hour on the hour- hours are dependent on the month. "Red Arches" by Daniel Burenbhas has a lighting show and "Fire Fountain" by Yves Klein are both active in the evening. The museum consists of contemporary and modern art. I'm not a big museum person, but there were things that I enjoyed. I was pleasantly surprised to see one of Yayoi Kusama's infinity mirrored rooms- "A Wish for Human Happiness Calling from Beyond the Universe". I wished they let you in the room longer when there wasn't much of a line. "The Matter of Time" by Richard Sierra on the ground floor was also fun to walk around/through. The second floor was mostly closed, so we didn't get the full experience. Overall, the museum is a must if you're in Bilbao.

We weren't shown to a table, and had to find our own place to sit. Of course, the table.we found was wobbly, which the staff did nothing to fix. As we were just finishing our drinks, suddenly the manager turned the music up to a painfully loud volume. When we asked what was happening, he simply said "cerrados" and pointed towards the door. I'm absolutely disgusted that a bar can hold this attitude towards its customers. The staff here act like it's the client's privilege to be there, and that you are something of an inconvenience. I'd only recommend coming here if you have masochistic tendencies, and enjoy being treated like dirt. One star is more than this place deserves.
