Navarre Museum, Regional art museum in historic center, Pamplona, Spain.
The Museum of Navarre is housed in a Renaissance building with four floors located in Pamplona's historic center. The collection spans from prehistoric artifacts to contemporary art and includes works representing different artistic forms and periods.
The building was originally constructed in the 16th century as a hospital for the poor. It was transformed into a museum in 1956 and has since served as an important center for preserving and displaying regional art history.
The museum displays Roman mosaics and Gothic murals from Pamplona Cathedral that reflect the artistic heritage of the region. Visitors can also see works by local and Spanish artists spanning different periods and styles.
The museum is easily accessible on foot from the historic center and is fully wheelchair accessible throughout all floors. Visitors should plan their visit carefully as opening hours vary by season and it is advisable to check ahead of time.
The entrance facade is the only surviving true Renaissance example in Pamplona and was designed by Juan de Villareal. This architectural rarity makes the building itself as noteworthy as the art displayed within its walls.
