Why go

The permanent exhibition follows changes in Basque society, giving context to the places, traditions and language encountered across the region. The historic convent and modern extension also reward attention as contrasting spaces. Spend time with the interpretation rather than treating the museum as a quick architectural detour on an old-town walk.

What to look for

  • Objects and interpretation tracing Basque social change
  • A former Dominican convent at the foot of Urgull
  • The contrast between the historic building and modern extension

Useful to know

  • Check notices for partial closures as well as the main opening hours.
  • Allow a separate museum visit before or after walking on Urgull.
