The Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum, inaugurated on 7 June , is located in Getaria, the couturier&#;s birthplace and the scene of his formative years and professional maturity, essential for understanding his contribution to the world of fashion.

Its breadth &#; more than 5, pieces from a collection that continues to grow thanks to deposits and donations &#; and its formal and chronological extension &#; including, for example, the designer&#;s earliest surviving models &#; make this collection one of the most complete, coherent and interesting.

Not for nothing were Balenciaga&#;s major international clients prominent social figures in the middle decades of the century: Mona Von Bismarck, Rachel L. Mellon, Patricia López Wilshaw, Barbara Hutton, Lilian Baels, Grace Kelly and Madame Bricard wore some of the models held in the Archives.
