Hemos hecho una actividad de las que organiza el museo los sábados, con niños pequeños. Los niños lo han pasado en grande, con calma y aprendiendo. Estimula su curiosidad. Muy recomendable.

Recorrido detallado por la historia vasca, desde él PaleolÃtico hasta la Edad Moderna. Múltiples paneles descriptivos, piezas y vestigios arqueológicos hacen la visita amena y didáctica. IncluÃdo para los más pequeños. Muy recomendable si decides dedicar tiempo a la oferta cultural de la ciudad.
