The Euskara Interpretation Center aims to convey the vital strength and diversity of the Basque language. It also calls for personal involvement, as every individual contributes to the language. Ultimately, the diverse nature of Euskara unites us and adds value to our society.

The exhibition offers a playful and detailed visit based on the senses; by starting with an experiential and engaging tour, visitors will immerse themselves in the multifaceted character of the Basque language.

Individual tours of the exhibition with audioguide are available during the same time. (EU/ES/EN/FR)
