"Villages, a thousand years on the land"

A temporary exhibition at the Arkeologi Museoa in Bilbao that uses archaeology to show how the medieval villages of Araba, Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa and Navarre emerged and changed between the 8th and 15th centuries. Produced by BIBAT, the Araba Archaeology Museum, it is expanded here with finds from Bizkaia, including the Argiñeta site in Elorrio. Farming tools, pottery, mills, stelae and items from churches and cemeteries reveal daily life, the economy and the social organisation of rural communities. Open from 23 September 2026 to 17 January 2027; weekdays 10:00–14:00 and 16:00–19:30, Sundays and holidays 10:30–14:00.
