Excellent museum to learn about the Basque culture. Thought it would be a short visit but we were here for a couple of hours. Very well put together. Most of the exhibits don't have English translation. Best to get the audio. It's free admission on Tuesday.

This museum is so easy to access if you are in San Sebastián and definitely worth a visit. We especially enjoyed the historic posters displaying beautiful beach images of the past (exhibit closes in. mid October). The building itself was also beautiful-it is a former convent from the 16th Century. We happened to visit on the day it was free but it was not very busy. The museum also extends free admission at any time to teachers, journalists, and people with disabilities. This was one of the few Spanish museums I have visited that include images of the Franco era, so that was very interesting.

A very interesting and eclectic museum/gallery with some old masters and new exhibitions. Beautiful building . But . Wanted to learn all about the Basque peoples, origins, culture, history etc . Sadly, not much there and most in Spanish , no translation. I’m sure the curators can present this coherently if they consulted the visitors and the locals

Great insight into Basque life and culture through the centuries. Superb layout and exhibits, well presented in a former convent. Some display notices are shown in English. Nestled in San Sebastián old town, well worth a visit. Leave at least 2 hours for this thoroughly entertaining and informative experience.

This is one of the foremost Basque museums in Spain and even the world. Oddly I was told that the 2nd best is in Iowa. If you are only going to hit one historical museum in the area, this has to be it. The way they have laid out the museum is excellent. There are sections dedicated to the clothing to cars. It is amazing to learn about how the wars affected their living to this day. The section that has these huge paintings on the walls is worth taking your time and listening to the background story. You will see things you would have missed and start to understand the meaning behind it all. Go. An absolutely impressive museum.
