Nearly thirty works depicting scenes from the life and customs of the Bilbao town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries could be seen at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in 2021. The exhibition, curated by Kosme de Barañano and sponsored by Iberdrola, brought together different painters from the period who, through brushstrokes imbued with French impressionism and the latest contemporary styles, reflect the sweeping modernisation the city underwent.

Artistic practice has spent more than half a century responding to the environmental emergency. The exhibition 'Arts of the Earth' presented a vibrant map of historical and contemporary works that explored new materials, processes and ways of relating to ecosystems.

In the 18th century, the need to escape poverty forced some women to disguise as men and lead a life of adventures and sacrifice.

During the years in which the Iberdrola Group conducted business activities in Mexico, until 2026, it also carried out significant work to protect and enhance works of art and historic buildings through its Foundation in the country.

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) kept her work largely invisible for a long period. In fact, it was not until long after her death, in 1986, that the general public was able to discover some of her paintings, which were filled with forms, colours and symbolism. Now, her enigmatic work is once again in the spotlight. Curated by Lucía Agirre and Tracey Bashkoff, the exhibition ‘Hilma af Klint’ arrived at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in collaboration with Iberdrola to showcase the remarkable story and essence of the Swedish artist’s work, considered a pioneer of abstract art ahead of names such as Kandinsky and Mondrian.
