This display in Spain is something to behold. The artists who made these exhibits must be very skilled. Very cheap admission price and well worth the time to visit in this central location.

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.

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!

I’ve been a fan of fire engines and equipment alike since I was a child, so stumbling upon this specialty museum was a real treat, taking me back to my childhood. The collection of fire trucks and other vehicles is fantastic. The equipment and uniforms throughout the decades is wonderful to see - you can even try on some firefighter clothing! The basement houses an extensive collection of rescue equipment (fire extinguishers, pumpers, etc.) and uniforms (paramedic, smoke jumpers, water rescue, mountain rescue, helicopter rescue, etc.). Other exhibits include detailed dioramas, photos of extraordinary fires in Zaragoza, badges, hats and paraphernalia from around the world and more. The staff are absolutely welcoming, informative and engaging - all current or former members of the fire department. I was their last visitor in mid-March just prior to their closing due to the coronavirus pandemic. I hope they will safely reopen in the not-too-distant future so they can continue to welcome fire fighting fans from around the world.
