Museo Diocesano de Arte Sacro

Bilbao's sacred art museum, housed in the former Dominican convent of La Encarnación.

Museo Diocesano de Arte Sacro, the Bilbao Museum of Sacred Art, occupies the former convent of La Encarnación. Its collections bring together religious sculpture, painting, silverwork, and liturgical objects from Biscay and the wider diocese.

It is a quieter museum than Bilbao's headline art institutions, but the convent setting and focused collection make it worthwhile for travelers interested in church art and local history. It pairs naturally with a walk through the old town and riverside districts.
