Worth it?
Even visitors who skip modern art galleries should see the outside: Jeff Koons' Puppy, which one creator says not to miss, and Louise Bourgeois's spider, Maman. Inside, Richard Serra's The Matter of Time is the headline work. Tickets are on the expensive side and advance online booking is recommended. Creators fit it into Bilbao and Basque road trip days.
