San Telmo Museoa, Donostia-San Sebastián

posted by: Barbara Steiner

San Telmo is a museum located in Donostia-San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain. Its main focus lies on the local culture and heritage.

The San Telmo Museum, inaugurated in 1902, is the oldest in the Basque Country; today it is reintroducing itself and its new objectives. Working from the basis of its funds, almost totally related to Basque society, San Telmo has been renovated to become a Museum of Basque Society and Citizenship. The object of reflection that San Telmo presents is the cultural and historical past as a seed for today's society, from a multi-disciplinary view, open to modern dialogue and debate. The museum constitutes the memory for future generations and it is responsible for safeguarding and making citizens aware of the wealth of heritage that it holds so that everyone can enjoy and make use of it. San Telmo assumes the responsibility of preserving, completing and increasing collections representing the history and evolution of Basque society. San Telmo is presented as a museum and, at the same time, a place to both disseminate knowledge and create thought whilst aiming to be an instrument to understand the present and build the future from knowledge of the past.
