Situated within the Casco Viejo district, or the Old Quarter, the Archaeological Museum of Bilbao strives to raise awareness of the history of Bilbao and the surrounding region and to connect the past with society of today.

This two-story exhibition space highlights the history of the Bizkaia region through traces left behind by its inhabitants ranging back to prehistoric times to modern day. Another goal of the Archaeological Museum is to ensure the conservation, restoration, and safekeeping of archaeological materials and in doing so, the museum collections include all items from the excavations carried out within the Bizkaia area.
