Itsasmuseum

The Itsasmuseum Bilbao, a former shipyard converted into a museum, invites visitors to discover the close relationship that Bilbao and Bizkaia have historically maintained with the estuary and the sea. Located on the Ramón de la Sota Quay, opposite the iconic Carola Crane, this venue conveys the region’s maritime, port and industrial heritage in the form of exhibitions, vessels and historical artefacts.

The museum offers an insight into how the shipbuilding industry, trade and shipyards have shaped Bilbao’s development over the centuries. Its location beside the estuary and in the heart of an area undergoing urban regeneration makes a visit here the perfect opportunity to understand the link between the city’s seafaring past and its evolution up to the present day.
