===Museum of Human Evolution===
The [[Museum of Human Evolution]] was inaugurated on 13 July 2010. Its foundation is based on the [[archaeological site of Atapuerca]] located {{convert|20|km|0|abbr=on}} east of Burgos. The Atapuerca site has been designated a UNESCO [[World Heritage Site]]. It contains several caves, where fossils and stone tools of the earliest known [[hominid]]s in West Europe have been found, near [[Atapuerca Mountains]].

The museum also allows the visitor to travel to the archaeological site and biological park.

===Museum of Burgos===
It summarizes the history of the [[province of Burgos]]. It has important objects and documents from all the ages, starting from Atapuerca, passing to the Romans and Iberians, and finishing in the contemporary period. These include the traditional [[Tizona|sword of El Cid]].

The museum is located in the renaissances palaces, the House of Íñigo Angulo and the House of Miranda, which has a main patio that structures the museum.

===Book Museum===
Between the Main Square "Plaza Mayor" and the Promenade of the Espolón "Paseo del Espolón," on the side street, Travesía del Mercado nº3, you find the Fadrique de Basilea Book Museum "Museo del Libro Fadrique de Basilea", of the Burgos publisher, Siloé, a cosy museum that shows the history of the book from its first written form to its modern electronic form.
