THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO CLOSES 2013 WITH 931,015 VISITORS
In the year 2013, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao received a total of 931,015 visitors. This figure, which coincides with the initial estimates for the year, has been hailed as a positive achievement by the museum, especially considering the negative economic climate in Spain over the past twelve months.
With regard to place of origin, it is interesting to note that the percentage of foreign visitors was slightly higher than in 2012: 65% of all visitors hailed from abroad, primarily France, the UK, Germany, the USA, and Italy. The proportion of visitors from the Basque Country was similar to that recorded in 2012 (12%), while the category of visitors from the rest of Spain decreased by one point (23%).
