Overview
For centuries, the sea has been a gateway to the world for Bizkaia and its people. Perched on the banks of the city's estuary, Itsasmuseum details the Basque Country's seafaring past, from Ria de Bilbao to the Bay of Biscay.
Delve into Biscay's former life as a shipbuilding hub in the 20th century, and discover the Ria de Bilbao's importance to the area's economic and social development. The Port Center features interactive and audiovisual exhibits explaining how the Bilbao Port operates.
