Euskal Museoa, Ethnographic museum in Old Quarter, Bilbao, Spain

The Euskal Museoa displays traditional fishing nets, model boats, woodcutters' axes, sheep bells, and navigational instruments that represent Basque maritime heritage.

Founded in 1921, the museum occupies a Baroque building that served as a Jesuit college from the 17th century in the heart of Bilbao.

The collections include black and white photographs by Eulalia Abaitua Allende-Salazar depicting fishmongers, pastoral families, and dock workers from early 20th century.

Located at Plaza Miguel Unamuno 4, the museum provides information in Spanish and Basque languages with English translations available through handouts.

The museum houses the Mikeldi Idol, a zoomorphic sculpture carved from sandstone that dates back to the Iron Age and represents pre-Christian symbolism.
