Maman (1999) is the largest sculpture in artist Louise Bourgeois' Spider series. She is over nine meters tall and carries a pouch containing 26 marble eggs. Maman is the French word for "mama".

Maman (9.27 × 8.92 × 10.24 m, 8165 kg) is a key work for understanding Bourgeois' art: the work pays homage to her mother, who worked in Paris as a tapestry restorer, and so, how the spiders, again and again renewed tissue. For bourgeois, the spider was a friend, protective, and helpful (in destroying vermin).

This bronze sculpture, a work by Louise Bourgeois (Paris, 1911 - New York, 2010), addresses the dual quality of motherhood, as the spider uses its silk to both create cocoons and capture its prey, while simultaneously reflecting the complexity of the People explores mind. His elegant and impressive presence does not go unnoticed. It is located on the rear facade of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
