The layout is helpful as the curator has started as early as possible on the lower floors and worked up towards modern. Spent around 90 mins to 2 hours here, it could have been more if I had scanned all the QR for information and storyline. Highly recommended

The museum has 4 floors of exhibits touching on Roman, middle ages, Renaissance, Baroque and 20th century. It should take about 1.5 to 2 hours to explore all the exhibits.

Es totalmente gratis. It's totally free. There's a lot of great modern art, historical artifacts, and classic art, including a Goya!

It is a better visit if you can read Spanish -or Basque. Interesting combination of historic -beginning prehistoric - to modern current artists. Some interesting historical videos.

What a great place to visit in Pamplona. This small, well laid out gallery/museum houses a combination of very interesting artefacts from the region, supplemented by artwork, up to contemporary pieces. A highlight for me was the prehistory section and in particular the abauntz map - the oldest in Western Europe! The column heads from the Catedral are also spectacular to view up close. A lovely way to spend a some quiet time in Pamplona.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
