University Museum of Navarra — Attraction in Pamplona

Actually an art gallery rather than a museum, with a good but small collection, almost all modern/contemporary, and all wonderfully displayed in a clean, modern space. Very quiet - we had the place to ourselves. My favourites were the two large, angry (to my mind!) Tàpies pieces; they really made the visit worthwhile. Note that entry is free throughout 2025, in celebration of the Museum’s 20th anniversary. Also, look out for special exhibitions - we were slightly disappointed there wasn’t more to see. The museum is on the higher northern edge of the University campus, with wonderful views across the green campus. It has a lovely restaurant (also very quiet!) but sadly they weren’t able to offer anything to appeal to my vegetarian partner. If you’r exploring Pamplona on foot, consider visiting here on the way to/from...

This museum was out of town and a good 30 minute walk from our hotel. So we debated a bit weather we should bother. We decided to go as my wife is a fan of modern art. To be honest most of the time I don't get it, some of the stuff I have seen in various museums I have seen a child could have done so I don't get what all the fuss is about.

Well worth the excursion but make sure you take the...

Una experiencia decepcionante y poco profesional

Compramos con dos semanas de antelación nuestras entradas para el espectáculo Go Figure a través de la web del Museo de Navarra. No eran entradas baratas, pero teníamos muchas ganas de asistir. Al llegar al museo, con nuestra reserva confirmada y el identificador en mano, nos apartaron de la fila sin explicaciones claras. Tras insistir para obtener una respuesta, nos dijeron que nuestra entrada estaba “bloqueada” porque la sala estaba llena. ¿Cómo puede ser que vendan más entradas de las que pueden acomodar?

Esta falta de profesionalidad es inadmisible en un sitio como el Museo de Navarra. Perdimos nuestro tiempo, nuestra ilusión, y no recibimos ninguna solución razonable ni compensación. Si sabían que había un problema, ¿por qué no nos avisaron con antelación? Lo mínimo habría sido una comunicación clara y un poco de respeto hacia los visitantes.

Si pudiera darles cero estrellas, lo haría. Nunca más volveré a confiar...
