Located along the waterfront, the Bilbao Maritime Museum is an interactive museum bringing the Basque maritime history and watery depths of Bilbao, Spain to life. Visitors can begin their trip to the museum with a ten-minute film to get an overview of the history of Bilbao from the 1300’s through present day before they explore two display-filled floors showcasing intricate models, pirate threats, innovative coastal rescue strategies, harrowing shipwrecks, and old shipbuilding techniques. Outside, the Bilbao Maritime Museum displays a variety of boats for guests to clamber about. A free multilingual app offers commentary about numerous exhibits throughout the maritime museum.
