The Friends of the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum Program came into being in 1981 to offer local society a way of participating more actively and directly in the life of the museum. For an annual fee, Friends of the Museum obtain a series of privileges giving preferential access to, information about and participation in the Museum’s activities.
