Description
Experience the seamless blend of art and nature at Chillida Leku, where sculptures and landscapes unite. Explore freely or join a guided tour to delve deeper.
Explore Chillida Leku, a museum where the boundary between art and nature blurs, nestled in the picturesque town of Hernani, near San Sebastián. This unique museum, envisioned as a grand artwork itself by Eduardo Chillida, invites visitors into an expansive open space without a predetermined path, encouraging exploration led by intuition and the "aroma" of the artworks.
The heart of Chillida Leku is its 11-hectare garden, home to over 40 monumental sculptures that engage in a silent conversation with the surrounding beech, oak, and magnolia trees, as well as with each other. The Zabalaga Farmhouse, meticulously preserved to maintain its traditional essence, hosts temporary exhibitions and provides a historical context to Chillida's work.
Your ticket grants access to the museum's exhibitions, the sculpture park, and the Zabalaga Farmhouse on your chosen day. Opt for the guided tour option to enhance your visit with insights into Chillida's philosophy and process, making your experience at Chillida Leku truly unforgettable. The tour concludes in the museum's open spaces, perfect for further personal exploration.
Discover as well the Lurra Cafe, product of a partnership between Chillida Leku and
Orona Fundazioa. The project first originated from the idea of
providing healthy and sustainable food for the employees and visitors
of Orona and evolved to become an active agent in the local economy,
championing the values of social and environmental responsibility.
