Private Visit to Chillidaleku with the Artist’s Son
Chillida-Leku is the culmination of one of the artist Chillida's lifelong dreams: to create a space for his work where it could be on permanent display.
This monographic museum is a faithful representation of the sculptor's fifty-year artistic career, and the perfect setting to enjoy the full magnitude of this internationally known artist in the company of Chillida’s son, who will be your guide.
The museum is divided into four areas: a 30-acre hillside of beech trees, oaks and magnolias that is studded with over 40 sculptures, a service area featuring an auditorium with images of the artist at work are projected continuously, a rest area, and a gift shop. Finally, the centerpiece of the museum is the Zabalaga farmhouse, which houses smaller format pieces of steel, alabaster, granite, terracotta, plaster, wood and paper. This is an extraordinary opportunity to witness Basque modern art in motion.
