Fantastic museum. I recommend downloading the app before going for access to an audio tour. I enjoyed the history of San Sebastián as well as seeing all the regional art, both historical and contemporary. I got lucky to show up on a free day, which was nice. I wanted to get something at the gift shop to show my support but it wasn’t as good as the rest of the museum, which was incredible. Highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

This is a must see. Its showing basque history and surpression. At the beginning of each room you can find pamflets. These give you more info in English and French. Also take some time to check the beautiful courtyard and chapel. Sit down and look at the beautiful canvases that where made for this museum.
