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.

El Museo Arqueológico (Arkeologi Museoa) tiene como propósito difundir el conocimiento de la historia del territorio. A través de lo expuesto se hace el recorrido desde la prehistoria hasta la era moderna. Está ubicado en el Casco Viejo de Bilbao, Plaza Unamuno, antigua estación de tren que conectaba Bilbao con las afueras. El Museo alberga más de 18.000 piezas arqueológicas, allí se garantiza el depósito, conservación y restauración de los elementos arqueológicos hallados, procedentes de excavaciones realizadas en Bizkaia. El Museo es pequeño pero muy interesante de visitar. Consta de dos plantas de área expositiva. En sus salas se presentan las diversas formas de vida en Bizkaia desde hace 100.000 años 😱... mar, pesca, cultura del pastoreo, industria del hierro, actividad comercial, oficios, artesanías, cerámica. Esta exposición se completa con una preciosa maqueta (castro). También vimos capiteles, sarcófagos, estelas funerarias, un armazón devastado de barco e infinidad de artilugios fabricados a partir de barro, piedra y huesos... Hay pantallas interactivas para aprender de forma divertida y detallada. Con las gafas virtuales visitas cuevas, entras en grades y altas cavidades para descubrir las pinturas rupestres (esto con audio explicativo incorporado). 😏 También disponen de códigos QR. Recomiendo la visita. Sin duda!!!

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.

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.

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?
