Supporting the Museum
The Corporate Members Program of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao receives ongoing support from over a hundred companies. This Program is open to all types of companies, regardless of size, activity, and scope. Being a Museum patron offers a wide range of attractive benefits for companies to use as part of their communications and public relations strategies.
Since the Museum opened in 1997, it has aimed to be an international art benchmark as well as the symbol of economic vitality in the Basque Country. This goal has been made possible thanks to support from our Corporate Members. We would therefore like to publicly express our appreciation to the many companies that have generously supported the Museum and encourage new companies to join in on the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao project.
