Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic to feature in exhibition in Guggenheim Bilbao

Bugatti has announced that the Type 57 SC Atlantic will take centre stage as part of a new automotive exhibition at the at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.

Known for its displays of modern and contemporary art, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is now the host of a new exhibition titled Motion. Autos, Art, Architecture that has been personally curated by renowned British Architect, Norman Foster, celebrating and investigating the parallels between the automotive world and that of art.

Bringing together a collection of around 40 of the automotive industry's most beautiful, exclusive and technically innovative creations, Bugatti's legendary Type 57 SC Atlantic is among the hand-picked selection for its breathtaking proportions.

Appearing in the 'Sculptures' gallery of the exhibition, the Type 57 SC Atlantic's engineering excellence alongside its distinctive flowing lines were noted when the automobile was chosen for display, having been shaped by Bugatti's craftspeople - artists in their own right. Fittingly, the Type 57 SC Atlantic is situated next to the celebrated 'Walking Panther' sculpture by Rembrandt Bugatti himself within the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
