Top History museums in Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain

Great museum that is free! It’s small but has some neat artifacts. And it’s free!

Plenty in English. Quite interesting but a lot of reading. It was free so what's not to like.

Detailed, thoughtful exhibit on maritime exploration as it relates to the slave trade. There was also a fun interactive video experience about Magellan & Elcano’s journey around the world. Small, free, and worth even a quick visit.

Not a musuem. More of an exhibition space. No charge. Very small - located on two floors. More a teaching space for local school trips. The Magallenes video however is excellent - giving a vivid ( in various languages) description of the 2 year round world gory and violent voyage undertaken back in the 1500s
The rest is not worth the time.

Brill place, easy access and Free of charge, tell you the stories of the 5 ships that left Spain many centeries ago, only 1 ship and 18 crew returned. Lovely displays and smiling staff x

excellent exhibition, currently on Elkano. it seems to rotate every once in a while, but the exhibition now is very well curated and interesting

Nice displays but very confusing. A whole floor on the US fight for independence with no English translation as to how it relates to Spain & the Basque culture. English notes that are present were so small they were difficult to read. Just glad we came on a free day!

Small museum specializing in the marine history of San Sebastian. Be sure and visit it as the special exhibits are well done. We saw an exhibit on the importance of women of the area on the marine economy. The women were and are a vital part of this areas well-being.
