This museum is quite large, and provided us with a wonderful review of the history of life - from farming and fishing, through political and linguistic changes - of this beautiful region, told through sculpture, paintings, and objects saved throughout history. The long-term exhibition of once-banned religious art had unusually straightforward and detailed discussions of the religious-political hsitory surrounding each. More

San Thelmo Museum was a great surprise. The new area of the Museum was masterfully done. The old church integrated well with the new side. The exhibition we saw was "Mil millones de otros". Do not go to the museum without trying the Kafe. A great place to try the Basque fodd. More

A pleasant and informative place to spend a couple of hours in San Sebastian More

The building was very interesting and think made the most of the space. The exhibitions that we saw were really interesting and informative. All staff were really friendly too. More

Informative exhibition about Basque history and culture, excellent temporary exhibition (Fellini) and beautiful architecture. Also good food in cafe. More

Tucked at the back of the Old Town - in a modern building - it starts rather unexpectedly in St Telmo church which began life as a Convent. Good use is made of the 3 floors to provide an interesting, and thoroughly enjoyable, museum. More
