From the Santiago de Compostela World / Places
Museo do Pobo Galego
Inside the former Bonaval convent, this museum makes Galician everyday life tangible through sea, farming, crafts and dress, with an extraordinary triple spiral staircase as part of the visit.

The collections help put the culture of Santiago's wider region into view, beyond the cathedral and the Camino. Follow the rooms on maritime work, agriculture and traditional crafts, then pause at Domingo de Andrade's staircase, where three separate spirals rise through one space.
What to look for
Displays connect Galician life to the sea, fields, crafts and clothing.
Domingo de Andrade's staircase contains three independent spirals.
The exhibition rooms occupy a former convent in Bonaval.
Useful to know
Leave time for both the galleries and the staircase; the architecture is part of the museum visit.
Combine it with the adjoining Bonaval church or CGAC for a focused visit to this part of town.
