Top 10 Museums in Casco Antiguo, Aragon
A rich blend of the historic and modern, Zaragoza sits on the banks of the Ebro River. Stroll in the center of town near San Miguel's pedestrian ways or around the Plaza de los Sitios, where you find boutiques, markets and souvenir shops. A center for gastronomy, Zaragoza offers food and drink for every budget and taste. But tapas is a must! In 2008, Zaragoza hosted the International Exhibition; the Water Tower, Bridge Pavilion and River Aquarium show off of the city's avant-garde architecture.

Wonderful and beautiful museum, where you just enjoy every moment. The sculptures are in an own league.
3. Alma Mater Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 107 reviews
The Alma Mater Museum is located inside a unique palace which has been witness of two thousand years of History where historical characters were accommodated, such as Alphonse I the Battler, the Catholic Monarchs and Pope Luna, and where General Palafox fought against the French troops at the beginning of the 19th century. It is an architectonical and museum project that combines History with 21st century modernity. The permanent collection offers a tour from the Roman period till present, with artists such as Goya and Bayeu and tapestry designed by Raphael ordered to decorate the Sistine Chapel at the 16th century. For example, you can visit a 12th century defensive tower, a 15th century Gothic chapel built while king Alphonse V extended the Crown of Aragon borders towards Naples, and the “Identitas” room in which you will know more about Zaragoza and Aragon History. In this room, the audiovisual production “The strength of a character” deserves a special recognition as winner of the Gold Dolphin of the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards on October 13th 2016.

A good surprise, as tapistry is remarkable in churches for centuries. A museum with good information available and beautiful pieces exposed.

Located inside the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a large collection of crystal floats. I’ve never seen floats made entirely of glass before and I must say it was one of the most unique displays I’ve seen. I was the only visitor at the time so my experience was quite personalized. Upon entering and paying the entrance fee, I watched a short introduction film about the history of the floats and their construction. As I proceeded through the displays, a narrative played and lights illuminated the floats. Stunning!
6. Museo Goya Coleccion Ibercaja

Reviewed By estersatomi - Bologna, Italy
The collection has got three sections, art before Goya, Goya’s paintings and engravings, art after Goya. I decided to visit only the second section (I feel overwhelmed when I visit too many sections). Between the oil paintings I appreciated the followings: Esopo, Menipo, San Joaquin, Santa Ana. The engravings’ section is amazing and stunning, focused on social topics like prostitution, inequality, the war and his bestiality, the value of the woman during the war. Excellent curatorship. Every engraving has a brief explication. Two advises: a)this museum is NOT an entertainment place! The art exposed is very serious and deeply. Not go here if you look for fun! b)it is not possible to take photos

Not expensive to go in but you can see the theatre from several spots outside. What a great find. Worth a look. Still amazed how these were built all around Europe all these years ago.
