Burgos Museum - by M Victoria on Google
Description
The Museum of Burgos documents and exhibits the historical and cultural evolution of the city and province of Burgos. It is housed in the palaces of Casa de Miranda and Casa de Íñigo Angulo. The Fine Arts collection is dominated by religious artworks dating from as early as the 11th century but also comprises more recent paintings and sculptures (from the 18th century onward) as well as some decorative and applied arts items. The other main collection consists of prehistoric and medieval artefacts of varied nature.
Access & Transport
The museum is 200m across the river from the Arco de Santa Maria and the historical center of Burgos. The city's central bus station is almost next to it and there is no dedicated car park.
Instructions & Recommendations
This activity is best combined with a walk along the Paseo del Espolón and an exploration of the historical center, starting with the Arco de Santa Maria and the Cathedral. The Museum of Human Evolution is also a short walk away and is a good option for families.
Environmental & Social
Repurposing of existing buildings and minor environmental impact to run the museum (mostly electricity). Helps preserve the region's historical and artistic heritages
Conclusion
An enjoyable provincial museum providing good insights into the history and the arts of the region but, in our opinion, it tries to cover too many aspects and therefore fails to excel in any particular one.
Key positive
Educational and few interesting artefacts
Free admission (or nearly so)
Key negative
Nothing exceptional
Suitability
No info online but we think the museum is mostly accessible for wheelchair users
