This Museo Taurino was inaugurated in 1995 in the most appropriate place: the Vista Alegre Bullring. The permanent collection is a great way to find out about the most important eras and events in bullfighting history in Bilbao and Vizcaya, as well. They have on display, a great selection of bullfighting outfits, capes, swords and other tools used by famous matadors. The most famous bulls are also remembered here with their mounted heads. There's also a wonderful display of bullfighting posters for corridas held in Bilbao, many of them from the 19th century. Besides visiting the museum, you can also stop by the bullring itself, the chapel, the bullfighters' locker room, the corral and other areas, all with a guided tour.
