Amazing museum, inside and out. The audio guide was the best I’ve ever had, with clear and accessible explanations of post-WWII art that really helped not only understand what the artists were doin… Full review by Joseph N

You have a 30 minute window in which to arrive, eg if you buy a 16:00 ticket you must arrive by 16:30. Once inside you are bound to the closing time of the museum, which can vary depending on date/special days so recommend you check.
How much in advance of our stay in March should we purchase tickets?

I didn't think it would be a problem to get tickets on-line on the day and tried to get them first thing on the day I was visiting but all the early times were gone and we had to change our plans and visit at a later time that day. That was in the summer but I think it is probably better to book in advance if you can and if you definitely know the day and time you are able to visit.
My wife and I are arriving in the port of Bilbao at 8:00 AM on Thursday September 14. What time will the museum open that day? What is the best/quickest way to get to and from the museum? Does the museum offer its own private tours and, if so, what is the cost for 2 people?

From their website it looks like it is open Tuesday to Sunday starting at 10:00 AM. I would think a taxi is the best way to get there. We arrived on a cruise and the shuttle bus into the city dropped us a few blocks away from the museum, so we did not need a taxi. If you are on a ship, they should provide a tourist map, which will help. You need to buy tickets. You can do this online. I do not know about tours, but the museum is breathtaking in architecture and easy to navigate.
