A good and slightly cheaper alternative to the Guggenheim museum, focusing heavily on basque artists. Victim of the Fiesta is one of the most vivid paintings ever created.

It is the second largest and most visited museum in the Basque Country, after the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum and one of the richest Spanish museums outside Madrid. It houses a valuable and quite comprehensive collection of Basque, Spanish and European art from the Middle Ages to contemporary.

Nice art exhibitions. Easy to walk around and chill.

Variety of art and you can get access to it for free from 18 to 20

Excellent and well-chosen works of art. Whether you're fond of contemporary art or the classic masters, you won't be disappointed. At the moment there are Goya's and Arruyo's masterpieces on display. Well worth visiting.

Just beautiful, 100% worth it if you have some interest in art🙌🏽

We only did the modern section of the museum, upper floor. They have a lot of Basque artists and some global ones. Actually, the first ones were quite impressive! We actually preferred it to the Guggenheim in case of the art. Yet, the Guggenheim is interesting just for itself, the architecture, the event thing. Tip: buy a combined ticket for both houses. Just a few euros more and you don't have to go to both on the same day.

Nice modern art gallery. I don't understand why the entrance fee (€9) is more expensive compared to the Guggenheim? Clearly the Guggenheim is more interesting and has better architecture.

Good collection of local artworks from the region on show, plus some more know international Artists, Tapies, Blake, Becon etc. Nice Bookshop too.

Small but good collection with some stars. Lovely El Greco Annunciation and super Gauguin. Plus others.
Claire Haffner | Jun 28, 2018
Nice collection of Basque art, though by far my favorite part was the video installation at the very end, "Infinite Garden. Regarding Bosch"
Leonid Gross | Jun 18, 2018
The collection contains several paintings by Zurbaran and Murillo worth a visit if you have time. There are many 19 and 20 century paintings by Basque artists

A very good selection of Spanish art that gives a nice overview of the development and different movements that ruled the arts from around 1340 until present day. Free if you are under 25 and don't forget to pick up the '110' guide that features elaborate explanations of the art pieces on when, by whom and how they were made, and highlights the art movements that have inspired it.

The museum doesn’t expose all the paintings because of restauration works (should be over by 2019 or 2020), but we saw a couple of very nice ones. What I really appreciated is that there is a booklet with a history about every painting there. Very helpful!
I also liked a nice terrace where you can have a coffee.

Very quiet and not too busy if you go when it opens at 10am. Plenty of time to browse. Good paintings and sculptures.
Rob Goossens | Jul 23, 2018
Nice collection of medieval to baroque art. The (post-)modern collection is less good, but just buy a combined ticket for the Guggenheim to compensate afterwards.
