Luberri, Geological Museum of the Basque Country

The museum has two rooms dedicated to different topics:

• The Geological History of the Basque Country, which houses a display of the most representative fossils in the Basque Country and full information about the animals and plants that have lived here for the last 600 million years. Moreover, we will discover the strata concealed in rocks, minerals and fossils. In fact, we will have a close look at the origins and evolution of life as well as at the formation process of the physical space where we live.
• Geology of the Oiartzun Valley, the Aiako Harria Nature Park and the Oarsoaldea Region. Information panels will take us through highly interesting episodes such as the formation of the Aiako Harria batholite, the only granitic structure existing in the Basque Country. We will meet the most ancient inhabitants of Gipuzkoa and observe representative fossils of each of the geological eras present in the Region.

The Centre has a laboratory where small experiments can be carried out. This is equipped with a library containing studies, publications and audiovisual and educational material.
