The Natural History
Museum of Alava, which depends on the Department of Culture
of the Provincial Council of Alava, opened its doors to the
public for the first time in May 1986. Despite its youth,
the museum contains major geological, botanical and zoological
collections with more than half a million references.
The museum is divided into three large sections arranged on
two floors: One is dedicated to Geology: Petrology, Mineralogy,
Palaeontology of vertebrates, Palaeontology of invertebrates,
General Geology. The other is dedicated to Botany and Zoology:
Cryptogam botany, Phanerogam botany, the Zoology of invertebrates
and the Zoology of vertebrates.
