San Telmo Museum

We went on a Tuesday, the locals recommended us since it is free on Tuesdays. It was amazing, even if we had to pay, it would have been so worth it! They have a lot of information, you travel through time from the beginning till modern days, there are a lot of videos and mini films for each station, a lot of interactive stations as well. Not the typical boring museum, it is filled with stories, truly exciting! I would recommend it to anyone staying at Donostia! Must-visit place!

Absolutely recommended! This museum has it all: a historical building, lots of information about Bask history and culture and a small but exquisite selection of fine arts. You won't be disappointed!

Well worth the 10€ entry fee and the perfect way to spend a rainy day in San Sebastian. Really appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the history of the region and Basque culture. The food and wine in the museum cafe was excellent quality and value as well!

It is an appealing blend of old and new. Well worth the trip. We had the benefit of it being a Tuesday, which is free to the general public. Had we gone a different day, we still would have felt the cost was worth it.

Very good museum. Was pleased to find out that there is free entry on Tuesdays, meaning that I didn't have to pay when I arrived.

The San Telmo Museum is dedicated to the history and culture of the Basque people. It is housed in a former Dominican convent, blending 16th century architecture with modern additions. The convent of San Telmo was built in a transitional style between Gothic and Renaissance, often referred to as Isabelline, after the reign of Queen Isabella I of Castile. While based on the Gothic style, its upper extensions incorporate Renaissance elements.

Museum of the basque history, with very interesting excibits, both ancient and contemporary

Interesting basque museum. The ground floor showed an exhibit about the brain and the science of the brain. The basque portion starts on the second floor and is very good as it goes through time showing how the basques lived in the region. Definitely worth it for the second floor. We came in March and it cost 10 euros each
