El Museo Arqueológico (Arkeologi Museoa) tiene como propósito difundir el conocimiento de la historia del territorio. A través de lo expuesto se hace el recorrido desde la prehistoria hasta la era moderna. Está ubicado en el Casco Viejo de Bilbao, Plaza Unamuno, antigua estación de tren que conectaba Bilbao con las afueras. El Museo alberga más de 18.000 piezas arqueológicas, allí se garantiza el depósito, conservación y restauración de los elementos arqueológicos hallados, procedentes de excavaciones realizadas en Bizkaia. El Museo es pequeño pero muy interesante de visitar. Consta de dos plantas de área expositiva. En sus salas se presentan las diversas formas de vida en Bizkaia desde hace 100.000 años 😱... mar, pesca, cultura del pastoreo, industria del hierro, actividad comercial, oficios, artesanías, cerámica. Esta exposición se completa con una preciosa maqueta (castro). También vimos capiteles, sarcófagos, estelas funerarias, un armazón devastado de barco e infinidad de artilugios fabricados a partir de barro, piedra y huesos... Hay pantallas interactivas para aprender de forma divertida y detallada. Con las gafas virtuales visitas cuevas, entras en grades y altas cavidades para descubrir las pinturas rupestres (esto con audio explicativo incorporado). 😏 También disponen de códigos QR. Recomiendo la visita. Sin duda!!!
