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.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
