University Museum of Navarra

The University Museum of Navarra in Pamplona is a modern art museum located on the University of Navarre campus. The building, designed by Rafael Moneo, spreads across three levels nestled in a valley between two hills, creating an integrated space with the landscape.

The museum opened in 2015 and grew from a donation of 49 significant artworks made in 2008. This gift became the foundation for the collection that defines the museum today.

The museum bears the name of a local patron and showcases significant photographs by 20th-century artists. This collection reflects how visual storytelling shaped the way people understood history and events during that era.

The museum is open during set hours from Tuesday through Saturday with morning and evening sessions. Being located on university grounds means you will find it in a calm setting that is easy to navigate.

The museum runs a residency program called Tender Puentes that brings together artists from different disciplines including dance, theater, and music. These collaborations happen through partnerships between different university departments.
