The Archaeological,
Ethnographic and Basque History Museum of Bilbao, situated
in the old part of the city, next to the church of Santos
Juanes, occupies the old Jesuit school of Jesuíta de San Andrés
(1604) and the former Casa de Misericordia. The museum is
divided into a number of different sections: prehistory, fishing
and the sea, the history of sheep farming, the iron and arms
industries, trade and traditional arts and crafts such as
ceramics and weaving. The exhibition is complete with an impressive
model of the province of Bizkaia and there are a number of
excellent pieces of popular furniture and religious artefacts
on display throughout the museum.
