The interior of the museum

Zumalakarregi Museum opened its doors first time nearly twenty years ago. Apart from going deep in the story of well-known Carlist general Tomas Zumalakarregi, the museum provides a comprehensive view of 19th century life in Gipuzkoa. For several months the place has been closed to the public for it has undergone exhaustive restoration works.

On the one hand it should be noted that obstacles have been removed and now the centre has wheelchair access. On the other hand, the permanent exhibition has been enlarged, thereby including information about the Carlist general's brother, military Miguel Antonio Zumalakarregi, and the Carlist War 2. An interactive system, known as "Historia militar del País Vasco en el siglo 19" (Military History in 19th century Basque Country) has been included in the compound together with new contents in the Documentation Centre.
