A museum showcasing the rich history of Biarritz, with a particular focus on the city's main eras.

The museum was born in the grounds of St. Andrew's Church. The first stone was laid by Queen Frederika of Hanover. Inaugurated in 1986 by the Association des amis du Musée Historique de Biarritz, it plunges you into the city's rich history, and more particularly into its 3 main eras: the Middle Ages, the 19th century, marked by the imperial family, the First World War, the Roaring Twenties with their sumptuous receptions given by English, Russian and Spanish families, the Second World War, thermalism... The association continues its investigations with a single aim: to research, preserve and exhibit all items relating to local history, both ancient and recent, in order to raise awareness of the past and support or undertake any action to safeguard movable and immovable property.

To the delight of Biarrots, Basques and tourists alike, the museum has been renovated and restored to its former glory, with thematic islands, a clear, easy-to-understand itinerary, and plenty of light and brightness to make it a place not to be missed. Digital archives can be consulted online on the museum's website. Exhibitions, conferences and concerts are organized throughout the year, as well as guided tours of Biarritz's neighborhoods and city center with historian Jean-Loup Ménochet, every Saturday morning and on request. You can also support the 400-strong Association of Friends of the Biarritz Historical Museum.

Intéressant bien que surtout dédié à une période précise ( et aristocratique) de la ville

Es interesante pero pagar 6 eur la entrada a un museo de una planta me parece excesivo.

Petit musée privé. Intéressant sur l’histoire du petit village de Biarritz (histoire, sport, pêche, etc). Très orienté sur la période du second empire. Dans une ancienne église. Une seule salle (mais grande : la nef de l’église). Attention : pas de toilettes à la disposition des visiteurs. A l’entrée beau mur gravé des noms des soldats du RU tombés en ces lieux durant la campagne napoléonienne d’Espagne.

No vayas si no hablas francés. La exposición central sobre el país vasco solo está en euskera o francés. La exposición sobre Biarritz es bastante desorganizada y los detalles de objetos solo en Francés.
