Museum of Human Evolution

The Museum of Human Evolution spans four exhibition levels presenting human ancestor reproductions, archaeological artifacts, and detailed evolutionary research displays.

The museum building stands on former military barracks land, which previously housed the San Pablo convent until the mid-nineteenth century.

The museum exhibits include ten hyperrealistic reconstructions of human ancestors created by French sculptor Elisabeth Daynes on the ground floor.

The institution opens Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 14:30 and 16:30 to 20:00, with continuous hours on Saturdays until 20:00.

Located 16 kilometers from Sierra de Atapuerca excavation sites, the museum displays original fossils and findings from this World Heritage location.
