Beautiful Fine Arts museum
Vitoria's Fine arts provincial museum is as beautiful outside as in the inside. The entrance fee is free. Most of the art are paintings by Basque & Spanish painters with connections with the region. There is a strong interest in landscapes & traditions. The building is in an atractive avenue near magnificent houses and historic buildings. Big format paintings are in the top and middle floors by famous local artists.

Impressive from the outside
We visited this museum with our multipass ticket, which applies to all the museums in the city. It is worth getting, as you can save several euros if you visit all the museums. The outside of the museum building is incredibly impressive, as are many of the houses on the street. It is worth taking some time to look at it before you go in. We hadn't heard of many of the painters in the museum, but they are mostly locals or people who worked in VG for many years. The interior of the building is also very beautiful, with a magnificent staircase and stained glass on the windows. There is also a fine chapel, also very beautiful. The nice thing about this museum is that the attendants don't follow you about as much as they do in some other museums we've been in. It makes me feel that we're trusted to walk about without them thinking we're going to damage something. There's also a small cafe area, with a machine that serves hot drinks. It is a nice museum, very much focused on local culture, and so allows you to see something of the history of VG.

Excellent find
The museum is located on a beautiful street along with treelined old houses. A lovely building with stained glass windows and a gorgeous staircase on the top floor. It had mostly artwork from the Basque region and Spain. Aside from another couple, we were the only ones there on a late afternoon. Free admission and free audio.
