One of the most important museums concerning Franco-Cantabrian cave art, with many excellent artifacts found in Cantabrian caves. The exhibition is composed to reflect chronological changes to the regional culture, covering a timeline from the Upper Palaeolithic to eventual latinization of Cantabria.

It's also quite informative, modern and at times interactive, although it's the quality of finds that is it's strongest point.
