Difficult to really gain any knowledge of ham
Apr 2023 • Couples
To have the information in English would make the experience much better for many visitors. You have to download an app to hear an English explanation, however this was difficult to match up with the pictures and artefacts. Only €3 but not so good for us.

Good fun and genuinely interesting
Jun 2015 • Couples
We are seasoned travellers in Spain and know our Spanish food very well. This place therefore really appealed to us and the staff were very friendly and useful. If you're not a little obsessed with Spanish ham and culture though, it's probably not the most exciting place, but worth the ticket combined with the Gruta de las Maravillas!

More interesting than it sounds!
Mar 2015 • Couples
They do have some guidance notes in English. You pay to get in but you get a yummy little tapas plate of Iberico ham at the end. It is a modern, well set out museum.

ok if you can read Spanish
Oct 2017 • Friends
the museum is large with plenty of information and pictures but all in Spanish. there is a video in English but is general and not a lot of info re how the jamon is produced.
there is a stair climber for those who cannot handle the stairs. after touring the displays there is a shop next to the reception where you get a tasting of the jamon and lots of items that you can buy.
guided tours are available

Only as part of combined ticket
Oct 2016 • Couples
We visited the caves (which are excellent, unmissable) and the ticket was only €3 more to include the castle, dull, and the Museum of ham). On the plus side, staff were very helpful and friendly and as everything is in Spanish gave us 2 pages of English explanations and also ran the intro video in English for just 2 of us. Beyond that, afraid to say that it was very dull.

Gracias por mostrar su opinión. Como en su caso recomendamos las entradas combinadas con la Gruta de las Maravillas y con el Recinto Fortificado del Castillo ya que ofrecen un ahorro económico. Para las visitas del Museo disponemos de guiones en diferentes idiomas y también del audiovisual de la dehesa en inglés. Una vez finalizada la visita ofrecemos una degustación de jamón de bellota ibérico sin coste adicional.

Unique Experience
Jan 2019 • Solo
Well this was an interesting tour of the whole process of the Iberian Ham. But I think in hall 5, there are some gruesome pics of the killing process of the pig ( don't let your child see it ). Apart from that, the process and flora, fauna is good to know about. Change the video according to the language you want.

A trip round the museum takes just under an hour & you get a taste of ham at the end.
English translation is available for parts.
You walk around on your own - no accompanying guide.

An interesting history of Jamon Iberico
Aug 2017 • Family
Having visited the caves in Aracena we paid an extra couple of Euros to go to the Ham Museum. Although all the visual interpretation is in Spanish you can get an English information sheet which tells you everything you need to know about what you see. Certainly worth a visit and you get a free tasting of Jamon Iberico too.

Dec 2016 • Family
Overall an interesting museum if you're into your hams. Most of the exhibits are in Spanish, but there is a handout available in English to explain the various roomsuou go through. The main video can be shown in English, plus a number of the interactive videos throughout can be viewed in English.

Like ham, liked the museum.
