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.

Lovely stop in the Senda promenade. I didn't go in because of lack of time, but I am definitely glad I at least saw it from the outside. Such an impressive building surrounded with lots of greenery.

The museum includes great impressionist pieces from 18th to 19th centuries. The building (an old palace) and its beautiful garden are impressive, as well. Even the zone is a charming.

This museum is a wonderful stop in the "Senda" promenade. There are remarkable pieces of Basque painters like Ignacio Zuloaga, Elias Salaverria, Ignacio Diaz Olano and Fernando de Amarica together together (interesting as well as represent some Basque traditions and way of life) with with other famous Spanish painters like Joaquin Sorolla and Vicente Lopez.Its visit is truly worthy.Aitor Delgado

It was an education for us in Basque painters. The building was a fabulous old house being repurposed. it was a treat to admire the moldings and ceilings, plus a lovely walk by a park to get there in a posh neighborhood of similar houses.

The remarkable pieces are mostly impressionist. The building itself is quite beautiful as it is an old palace converted into a museum. Prices of entry is 3 euros (lonely planet needs updating)

The Museo de Bellas Artes is located at Paseo de Fray Francisco, 8. The museum was founded in 1942 by the Diputacion Foral of Alava. It occupies the Palacio de Augusti that was constructed in 1912 for Ricardo Augusti and his wife Elvira Zulueta. The architects were Javier de Luque and Julian Apraiz. The style of this palace is that of a Renaissance palace. The museum increased its collections with time, and among them was the collection of Fundacion Fernando de Amarica. Its namesake was a very good painter who lived between 1866 and 1956 and in front of the museum one can see a bronze statue of him. So an underground addition was made to the building to get additional space. The museum specializes in art from the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as Basque art from 1850-1950. The museum also has art from the Prado that has been deposited in the museum. Famous artists represented are the painters Joaquin Sorolla, Raimundo de Madrazo, Vicente Lopez, Jaume Morera, Enrique Serra, and Josep Masriera. Sculptors represented are Mariano Benlliure, Julio Antonio, and Jose Clara. One of the best paintings was done by Ignacio Diaz Olano and is called Restaurante. It shows a poor woman peeping through the window to look at rich people eating in a fancy restaurant. This painting evokes deep psychological feelings from the viewers. The palace is interesting also and there is a chapel too. The artwork is distributed around its many rooms. There is an impressive staircase to go to the upper floor.

Fue por pura casualidad. Íbamos en grupo visitando lugares emblemáticos de Vitoria, como el palacio de Ajuria Enea, sede del Gobierno Vasco. Llovía y tres miembros del grupo decidimos guarecernos en el cercano Museo de Bellas Artes de Vitoria.Quedamos fascinados y por poco perdemos el autobús de regreso. Las pinturas son principalmente de autores vascos y de muy bella factura. Pero hay más...el palacio en el que en buena parte estás ubicadas corta la respiración por su extraordinaria belleza y unas dimensiones humanas que te hacen sentir como en casa.Consejo: no es preciso que compres entradas con antelación, al parecer hay pocas visitas. Y si eres mayor de 65, o estudiante, entrarás por un euro en vez de tres. Créeme: concédete este premio, dáte este respiro. Y no esperes a que llueva :)

Dedicado fundamentalmente al arte vasco, contiene en la planta baja retratos y autorretratos de artistas vascos. Arriba, un excelente cuadro de Zuloaga y una sala dedicada al pintor Ignacio Díaz Olano que, solo por ella, merece la visita al museo. Un cuadro magnífico de Madrazo y un paisaje de Haes cuelgan en sus muros.El palacio posee una magnífica escalinata y una bella fachada.

Dicen que Vitoria es la gran desconocida del norte. Creo que no es así, si bien Museos como este están por explotar al gran público no sólo foráneo sino local.

Puede que no sea el museo del Prado, pero me gustó bastante. Arte vasco, sin grandes nombres. Ideal si se tiene alguna hora pendiente en Vitoria y no se sabe qué visitar.
