It was free so I can't really criticize, but the exhibits were quite average. I was hoping to learn about the different pilgrimage routes but it was more about the iconography of St James. My favorite exhibit turned out to be the one about music

Un museo histórico sobre el peregrinaje muy interesante, puedes conocer más sobre esto, otras religiones y sobre la vida del apóstol La entrada es gratuita, no hay que perdérselo

A definite must do even if you are a pilgrim. After just completing the northern route I was skeptical about going to a museum. I am glad I did and it was free (Aug 2025). The displays have English text as well and they provide good descriptions. Learnt new things. There was no queue which I found surprising since it was a Sunday in high season.
