The new Altamira Museum is a modern, functional museum, integrated in the landscape. It is a museum where the latest technology and the most modern systems of communication take visitors back to the Times of Altamira.
It is a minimalist building integrated in the landscape as a continuation of the essence of Altamira Cave, planned to hold the replica of the famous Chamber of the Paintings, the permanent exhibition, laboratories, workshop rooms, lecture hall, library, cafeteria, and shop.
The protection of Altamira Cave was the main consideration when locating, planning and building the new museum, which was designed by Juan Navarro Baldeweg.
