Euskal Museoa Bilbao

Why go

The museum links objects of daily life to the longer history of the Basque Country. Its older collections cover subjects from archaeology and seafaring to pastoral life, textiles and local conflicts, while the former Jesuit college gives those displays a setting with its own history. The renewed institution uses the name Euskal Museoa, so look for that name when checking the current galleries.

What to look for

• The historic college building beside Plaza Unamuno.
• Collections on Biscay's archaeology and Basque ways of life.
• The contrast between the old building and its newer entrance.

Useful to know

• Pair the museum with a walk around Plaza Unamuno and the surrounding old-quarter streets.
• Check the current exhibition layout before going; the institution has undergone a renewal.
