Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum closed ‘until further notice’
The Basque city of Bilbao’s world famous Guggenheim Museum closed “temporarily” today until further notice, “as a way to contribute to contain the spread of COVID-19”.
It is one of many such closures across Spain, which has declared a state of emergency.
A museum spokesperson said: “For the Museum, the safety of our visitors, our staff, and our collaborators is a top priority.
“In this context and as a precaution, all programs and activities have already been cancelled.
“The Museum’s website offers timely information of any changes that may occur.
“While the Museum is closed to visitors, staff members continue working internally in order to accompany the public in these challenging times, increasing the content about the art program and offering it through our web and social media”.
