A really fantastic museum - the interactive displays (in a range of languages) are clear, helpful and informative. It has lots for children too and little interactive quizzes. The amount of stunning artefacts is incredible. We visited after going to the Cuevas de Castillo and it was really relevant. I thought 4 euros was excellent value (although I think it’s free on Sunday afternoons). Amazing!

Fantastic museum that takes you through from prehistoric monolithic to medieval times. Well worth the admission price, which for a senior is €1. Standard admission is €3 which again for what you are getting is excellent value. Check opening days and hours before you go.

Well presented museum with English signage. Many interactive displays, all in working order (kind of uncommon in smaller museums, sadly). €4 entrance fee. Spent probably 90 minutes there. Pairs nicely with a visit to one of Cantabria's cave sites.

It is a clean and well presented place but definitely not worth near 9 euros. It highlights are bone and stones from the local region. Displays are spoken in english, spainish. Overall you may spend up tp 45 mins there
