In 1992, Juan Ignacio Vidado was elected director of the consortium that launched the process when the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao was not yet built. Four years later he was appointed general director of the museum. The first and only director of the Guggenheim will cease at the end of this year. However, he will remain director emeritus, as part of the foundation. Vidarte says that since 2017 he had planned to leave office, but for pandemic and other issues he has not taken the step.

Vidarte has announced to the Board of Trustees of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao that it is necessary to "open a new time" at the meeting held on Monday and "have room for other views that will lead the museum to the future". The Board consists of representatives of the main Basque institutions, chaired by the President of the Basque Government and accompanied by the Minister for Culture of the Government, the Deputy General of Bizkaia and the Deputy Minister for Culture, the Mayor of Bilbao and the representation of the Patronato Guggenheim International.

Looking for the Second Guggenheim

Vidarte has enthusiastically promoted the expansion, expansion or direct construction of a second of the Guggenheim Bilbao. He first explored it in Sukarrieta, and in 2018 he left the opportunity and became apparent in Gernika-Urdaibai.

Vite is fired in part from a three-decade trajectory without leaving the second Guggenheim project on track. However, the board stressed that the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao was born to accommodate 400,000 visitors and that last year it received 1.32 million more than the Guggenheim in New York.

Vidé has offered a press conference on Tuesday morning and said that "it is the direction of the future" to put the Guggenheim de Urdaibai "on its way".
