Family visit to Chillida Leku in Basque

Chillida Leku is located in Hernani, just a few kilometres from San Sebastián (Donostia / San Sebastián), in a setting unlike most museums: the 16th-century Zabalaga farmhouse and a multi-hectare garden where Eduardo Chillida's monumental sculptures are placed in direct dialogue with the Gipuzkoa landscape. Every Sunday, the museum runs a family visit in Basque led by its team of educators. Designed for children accompanied by an adult, the experience goes beyond observation: participants can touch the sculptures and step inside the spatial environments Chillida created, engaging directly and physically with his sculptural language — centred on space, matter and the void. No advance booking is required, and the museum offers free parking on site. Its proximity to San Sebastián makes it a natural stop on a route through Gipuzkoa, particularly for families looking to combine contemporary art with an outdoor, natural setting.
