Museo Vasco
The Museo Vasco, also known as the Euskal Museoa or Basque
Museum, is in the heart of the old quarter of the city, housed in a
17th century Jesuit cloister. The museum depicts Basque culture,
history and ethnology, and its exhibits span a wide range of
interests including: weaving, the blacksmith trade, pastoral life
and maritime matters. The displays offer the chance to dip into
Basque political and social life, using everything from model ships
to reconstructions of rooms and gravestones.
