Museum of Navarre

Pamplona, Spain

The Museum of Navarra is the art museum of Navarre. It is located in the old hospital of 16th-century Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia de Pamplona, converted to museum only in 1956. The origins of the collection are works obtained by a provincial Commission in 1844, and displayed in 1910 at what is now the Cámara de los Comptos. To the right of the entrance is the facade of the church of the hospital.

The exhibits in the four story museum is chronologically arranged, starting from prehistoric works to the 20th-century.

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.

Linderhof Palace

Linderhof is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed.

Ludwig II, who was crowned king in 1864, began his building activities in 1867-1868 by redesigning his rooms in the Munich Residenz and laying the foundation stone of Neuschwanstein Castle. In 1868 he was already making his first plans for Linderhof. However, neither the palace modelled on Versailles that was to be sited on the floor of the valley nor the large Byzantine palace envisaged by Ludwig II were ever built.

Instead, the new building developed around the forester's house belonging to his father Maximilian II, which was located in the open space in front of the present palace and was used by the king when crown prince on hunting expeditions with his father.
