Museum of the Asturian People

A wonderful museum where you can leisurely stroll from pavilion to pavilion and discover something new each time. I was very impressed by the exhibitions on corn, bagpipes, and Asturian women's corsets. The exhibits are thoughtfully selected, presented, and described - it’s clear that a huge amount of research went into them. I highly recommend it if you’re interested in rural, industrial, and coastal Asturias. And of course, the amazing 3D photographs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries of the very places that are still interesting to walk around today provide a beautiful finale to the visit, accompanied by soulful music!

Wow…what a local culture history treat! The out buildings and World Unesco Heritage designation for Asturias Cidre…you see and sense why in one of the old buildings…its something mechanically ancient cool! By far the strongest of the museum exhibits for me came at the end and I nearly missed it. The 3D photo exhibit. This is no AI 3D gaming simulation flash in the ocular-philic pan, no this exhibit for me was so much more. Connecting to their unique past, all around Asturias, in a way that was totally unexpected, quietly intimate and re-connecting. Who would have thought black and whites could carry such weight? A recommend and nod to the old old ways of cerebral cortex image capture. A Lovely free museum in Gijón!

Excellent place to visit in Gijon good information and very interesting displays We liked the Gaite museum with bagpipes from lots of other countries, nice gardens to walk around and a 3 D display to view. Thank you to the staff all helpful and Roberto for our introduction well done 👏👏👍gracias Free entry

An absolute wonderful experience. The complex by itself is a pretty place to just walk in and to look at the wonderful buildings. I strongly recommend that if visiting to go and see the cameras and bagpipes sections.

What a super museum! Well presented, with additional temporary exhibits. Really enjoyed strolling around the site. Free entrance. Highly recommended.

Really interesting place to visit, free entry. A shame we didn't get to see all of it, but we had to move on. We will come back.

A very interesting museum with old buildings and objects from the past. It gave a real sense of how tough rural life was. It was reminiscent of St Fagan's Museum in Wales on a much smaller scale. An excellent exhibition of bagpipes, from around the world, as well as Asturias. The staff were helpful and friendly. Even better, it was all free.

Very decent. Having that it is an open museum, it was really a calm visit whilst the place quite displays the authenticity of the Asturian live hood until 19th century. Also having this for free was really surprising.
