Arrivée par hasard dans ce musée, avec mon copain, j’ai été très surprise en tant qu’étudiante en architecture ! Elena nous a merveilleusement accueilli et a pris le temps de bien nous montrer les différents parcours du musée ! Nous avons vu une expo tournée autour de la typologie des maisons Basque avec une présentation de 4 prix gagné par différentes agences d’architecture entre 2017 et 2023 ! Très intéressant et enrichissant ! (Gratuit)

了解巴斯克地區文化、歷史、建築過去與現在發展的好地方!有一點小小隱密的入口,但是非常值得一看,就在聖母院旁邊。

Vinimos a ver una exposición y llegamos10 minutos antes del cierre y tuvimos la suerte de que nos atendió Elena, que con mucha amabilidad sabiendo que veníamos de fuera nos dijo que no nos preocupásemos por el tiempo y tuvo la gentileza de acompañarnos. Fue una visita memorable, y todo gracias a nuestra anfitriona Elena, por sus explicaciones y por el entusiasmo con que vivía este antiguo convento convertido en Instituto de Arquitectura.
