Burgos Museum and its collection

Burgos Museum
Source

The Museo de Burgos, previously known as the Museo Arqueológico Provincial, is situated in two neighboring 16th-century palaces, the Casa de Miranda and the Casa de Íñigo Angulo. These palaces form a block between Calle Calera and Calle Miranda in the Spanish city of Burgos. The museum's collections, which exclusively originate from the province of Burgos, showcase the historical and cultural evolution of the province.

Historical Collections of the Museum

The collections of the Museo de Burgos include items from prehistory, antiquity, and the early Middle Ages. These artifacts, sourced from a variety of locations throughout the province, provide a comprehensive view of the region's history. Models, photographs, and plans are also on display to facilitate understanding of the sites where these items were found.

Fine Arts Department of the Museum

The Fine Arts department of the Museo de Burgos spans four floors and a mezzanine, divided into nine rooms. The collections begin with less significant remains from the pre-Romanesque or post-Visigothic period and continue through to the 20th century. The museum houses works from various periods, including the Romanesque and Gothic periods, the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, and the 17th to 20th centuries.
