The megalithic park and the museum

The site museum

Museum of the Caves of Sare

The site museum addresses several topics. You will first discover the various stages of Human evolution from Prehistory to the present day thanks to information panels and the exposition of relics dating from numerous periods.

You will then get a chance to better know JM de Barandiaran, eminent Basque prehistorian and ethnologist to whom the visit is dedicated, before letting children learn how to recognize the different bat species.

You can access the site museum free of charge before or after the guided-tour of the Caves of Sare.
