The Basque Museum, originally known as the Basque Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum of Vizcaya, opened its doors in 1921, occupying the ground floor of the baroque cloister of the old Colegio de San Andrés, which belonged to the Jesuits until their expulsion from Spain in 1767. The adjacent church of Santos Juanes, today a regular worship parish, was the temple that once belonged to the Jesuit college. From the beginning, it had the sponsorship of the Vizcaya Provincial Council and the Bilbao City Council. Little by little, the museum occupied the annex buildings and increased its collections, which include the archeology of Vizcaya and the ethnohistory of the Basque Country. The museum is currently undergoing a renovation process, both at the museological and museum levels.[1]Since 1962, it has been an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC), with the category of National Historic-Artistic Monument.[2]
