Best Things to Do:
The Rooms of The Artist: Contemporary Comfort Framed by the Guggenheim
We have arrived at the door of room 507, disguised as room service. We knock on the door. No one answers. Do we enter? Let's enter!
Decorated in warm tones and noble materials, the room is spacious and lit by the characteristic light of Bilbao, multiplied by its reflection in the estuary. We confirm that there is no one in the room at the moment, although two suitcases at the entrance indicate that it must be occupied by two people. We know that The Specter acts alone, but what if he has a partner?
On the nightstand, we find a receipt for a cash payment for an entire week's reservation. It is striking that with that amount of cash, they did not choose one of the suites, which are decorated with more works of art.
A huge window frames the Guggenheim as if it were another work of the hotel or of the museum itself. On the front wall, an original canvas by Mariscal silently observes us while the soft textiles of the bed invite us to rest for a while. That bed is so enticing that for a few seconds, we almost forget about the theft.
We lie down until we notice a strange detail: someone has left a large sports bag. Inside, there is a hat and black gloves. Could this be the place where they hide the stolen artworks? They might be simple guests who went to the wellness area to relax, or perhaps we have come across the thieves. In that case, they probably went to The Muse area, from where the museum can also be seen. Where could the guests of room 507 be?
