If the Guggenheim is brash in appearance and narrow in the scope of its collection, the Fine Arts Museum of Bilbao is just the opposite. The art ranges from early medieval to 17th-century Flemish paintings and the work of Spanish masters of the 18th century school, including the great names of Spain – Zurbarán, Ribera, Velázquez, Goya and El Greco.
A modern addition designed by Luis Uriarte and inaugurated in 2001 has given the space a 21st-century edge that not only draws some deserved attention from the Guggenheim crowd a short way downriver, but also serves to complement its impressive collection of contemporary art from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
A strong emphasis on preeminent Basque artists like sculptors Jorge de Oteiza and Eduardo Chillida is balanced by the Valenciano seascapes of Sorolla and the larger-than-life murals of Tàpies, just one of a number of artists whose world-class works have found their way in both the neighboring silver goliath and this unpretentious but noteworthy museum.
