Visit San Telmo Museum
Parte Vieja, Spain
San Telmo explores Basque society through art, history and everyday objects in a former Dominican convent at the foot of Mount Urgull. Its modern extension sits alongside a cloister and church, where Josep M. Sert’s large canvases are a highlight. The contrast between old and new buildings makes the setting worth attention as well. Check the exhibition programme before visiting and leave time for the permanent collections, rather than only the temporary show.
