In 2022, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is celebrating its 25th Anniversary with an ambitious presentation of its own Collection spread across all its galleries, with the sponsorship of BBK. Sections/Intersections. 25 Years of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Collection is conceived as a giant triptych with three thematic sections that engage in mutual dialogue and permit a rediscovery of the works that have historically defined both the interior and the exterior of the Museum.
For the first time in its history, all the galleries on every floor of the building, many of them normally used for temporary exhibitions, will host a panoramic view of the Collection acquired by the Museum from its foundation until the present day. The core themes of this major collective will consist of Marking History on the third floor, Unfolding Narratives on the second, and Material Life on the first.
Among the exceptional aspects of this exhibition project will be the presence of rarely exhibited pieces and new acquisitions, as well as the return to the galleries of recently restored large-format works.
