This tiny museum is located in the old town, and inside a lovely old building - that's the good news. it also has a wonderful 3D map of the area around Bilboa - allowing you to understand why you drove thru at least 6 tunnels to get here. Unfortunately, the English signing was non-existant, the French very brief, the displays... More

I really enjoyed this museum for what I learned about the Basque people and their history. I traveled alone and paid for a guide that I arranged for with the hotel the day before.

Even though this museum was presented only in Spanish and Basque languages, it still managed to tell its story well and we spent an hour or two getting around most of the exhibits, emerging better informed about the Basque region, its history and culture. Worth a visit to see this attraction in the old centre of Bilbao More

Spent a great afternoon in this quiet, beautiful little museum. It had a little bit of everything having to do with Basque culture and history. Worth the trip! More
