Description of the Museum

First mooted in 1908, the Museo de Bellas Artes was originally a joint initiative of the Diputación (Provincial Council) of Vizcaya and the Bilbao City Council. The new Museum eventually opened its doors to the public in 1914. The Fine Arts Museum was conceived as part of a more general drive to modernise turn-of-the-century Bilbao socially and culturally and to provide members of the local artistic community with the best possible historical models during their training. Directed by artist Manuel Losada, the new Museum was housed in what had been the city's School of Arts & Crafts.
