The Museum

The Museum is located in Puente de Sabiñánigo (Huesca), in the central Pyrenees (Spain). It is housed in a splendid rural architectural gem going back to the 1800’s. It opened in 1979 and is the happy combination of the vision, labor and creativity of sculptor Angel Orensanz, the Amigos del Serrablo Association (Friends of the Serrablo); and the City Council of Sabiñánigo. Angel Orensanz had observed for years the amazing architectural features of this old homestead and fell in love with the building. He purchased it and made an agreement with Amigos del Serrablo, a local cultural and ethnological preservation association. They had a recognized track record in saving the unique heritage and cultural identity of this part of Northern Aragon. The city council of Sabiñánigo has provided since then the financial and legal framework of the permanent development of the Museum. Ten years ago, the Museum underwent a significant expansion with spaces for special collections and for class room and educational activities.
