Dedicated to the history of Basque culture, this museum occupies a 17th-century building in the Casco Viejo near the Plaza Nueva. As its name implies, the collection is an enlightening hodgepodge of prehistoric artifacts, exhibits devoted to the region’s traditional fishing and shipping industry with plenty of space for time-honored crafts like weaving and, strangely enough, grass-cutting.
The “Mikeldi,” an ancient, animalistic stone idol of unknown origins, is literally the centerpiece of the museum’s collection as it occupies the center of the attractive courtyard. Experts believe that the idol, with symbols of the sun and moon between its legs, was used in pagan rituals by an early Basque civilization.
