A great summer plan in the museums of Bizkaia

Arrantzaleen Museoa in Bermeo hosts the exhibition "Bermeo Portu Zaharra 1877-2024", a photographic exhibition that includes 34 images that capture the evolution of the Old Port of Bermeo over the last 150 years. Curator Iñaki Marcaida has spent decades photographically documenting the port's changes and activities since 1965. Thanks to digital techniques, the photographs have been restored, recovering their original splendor and offering a chronological view of the port's physical and social development. In this museum, on August 10 will open a new space dedicated to La Galerna occurred in August 1912. New panels will provide more information on galleys of this magnitude that occurred on the coast of Bizkaia where many fishermen perished in 1878 and 1912, the year in which 143 fishermen died in what is known as "the Galerna of the night of Santa Clara". On August 29 and 30, the museum will host the summer course, organized by the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and the UPV EHU, "Literatura eta nazioa. Nazioa eta Literatura". This course, free and open to the public, will be taught in Basque and will explore the role of literature and music in the formation of Basque identity. Writers and singers such as Iparragirre, Lizardi, Lauaxeta, Aresti, Lete and Laboa will be the focus of study, analyzing how their works have contributed to Basque culture and the notion of Basque nationhood over the last hundred years. The El Pobal Ironworks and Muñatones Castle offer a series of outstanding activities in August.
