Chillida Leku is the result of a longtime dream of the artist Eduardo Chillida: to create a space where his works could be permanently displayed. Chillida Leku is a sculptural space, considered an artwork by the artist where his vision of form, space, and time are in perfect balance.

The Chillida Leku project began in 1983 when Eduardo Chillida and his wife, Pilar Belzunce, purchased the Zabalaga estate. However, the idea had been brewing for a long time, like an unattainable dream in the mind of the sculptor: “One day, I dreamed of a utopia: of finding a space where my sculptures could rest and where people could walk through them as though in a forest.” In the open fields and forests of the Zabalaga country house, Chillida found the perfect place for realizing his dream.
