Museum description:
During the civil war conflict of 1936-1939 the town of Bielsa was heavily bombed and raised to the ground, causing the loss of nearly all its historical documents and heritage, and the emigration of its inhabitants. But this sad chapter in its history wasn’t enough to wipe out the village’s identity and little by little, objects, documents and archives have been found and compiled to make up one of the best museums in the Pyrenees, with a photo archive of over 5000 images from different sources.
The museum´s ground floor focuses on Bielsa and its lands.
The valley’s culture and history from its origins up to present day are displayed on the first floor.
Also on this floor is a section devoted to the darkest and most traumatic moment in the village’s history: La Bolsa de Bielsa.
The second floor covers traditional houses and the Bielsa Carnaval.
