A most authentic, informative, spectacular and child friendly museum in a historic building with lot of original objects. Most information given in English, but the museum is absolutely not text heavy. It gives a substantial overview of history and everyday life of this remote but great corner of Spain i. e. Country Basque. A good mixture of history, archeology, anthropology, fishery, traditional food, rural life etc. The museum has 3 floors and a ground floor to visit. Very easily accessible for wheel chair users. Quiet atmosphere, professional and attentive staff. Restrooms are available for visitors.

Fantastic way to learn more about Basque history and culture! Spread out across 4 floors, the exhibits included everything from centuries old stone coat of arms of the city, through scaled down smith workshop to fine china and historical dress. For those who appreciate miniature models, this museum has a lot to offer. Apart from models of tradional villages and important buildings, you can also walk around a very impressive model of all of Biscay.

FREE Entry on Thursdays. Very nice Basque museum. It would be lots better if there were other languages on the detail plaques on the exhibits. Instead there are some sporadic leaflets that are dotted around. The time we spent here was cut short because of that, otherwise we would have stayed a lot longer. There is a fantastic model of Bizkaia so you can see the entire region on a large scale, it's just a shame that for a non-basque-spanish speaker there were no accessible information by the exhibits. Glad it was free entry.

This is a well curated museum with artefacts from the local area beginning in early prehistory around 100,000 years ago, showing stone tools. The display works through subsequent periods of prehistory before looking at the Roman occupation and then the medieval period. Of note is the immersion experience of cave paintings from the paleolithic period. We'll worth a visit.

The ethnographic museum costs 3 euro to enter and is split over 4 different floors. Some of the exhibits will not be that interesting to all and will include a large amount of reading of sheets, but there was an exhibition of large statues of the Basque region which is quite impressive and worth viewing just for this. Is this the most reasonably priced museum in Bilbao?

Interesting museum with some very good exhibits, strange layout which can get confusing as you look for the translated information sheets, which seem to be in random locations. Highlight is the relief model of the Region. Would recommend visiting for 1.5 hours.
