This museum, home to the industrial heritage of the Left Bank, is celebrating its twentieth anniversary on the banks of the River Nervión.

The museum is an interesting destination for everyone, but a must-see for those who appreciate industrial heritage. The museum’s interior houses a historical treasure trove. The permanent collection brings together unique artefacts from the industrial era. Machines, tools and photographs form the basis of the exhibition. The fine arts section is also a highlight, featuring works by local artists.

Each object tells the story of the hard work of the blast furnace workers. The museum’s collections preserve the technical and human heritage of Bizkaia

The main aim is to promote local identity. The museum connects younger generations with their roots.

It offers a dynamic space to host temporary exhibitions and educational workshops, seeking to preserve the memory of the working class.
