Guggenheim

The Guggenheim Bilbao board has decided not to proceed with the museum's expansion into the Urdaibai natural reserve, due to administrative, judicial hurdles and social opposition. The decision, announced by Basque authorities, ends a project launched in 2008 and revived in 2021. Key figures like Bizkaia's deputy general, Elixabete Etxanobe, acknowledge the challenges that made the initiative unfeasible.
