Industrial Evolution

The history of Eibar seen through its industrial evolution

This display, divided into 7 sections, allows visitors an insight into the development of industry in Eibar from the 14th century up to the present day.

Known as "the arms city", the industrial activity in Eibar was not restricted to weaponry, though it was this industry that gave rise to those that followed. Brand names such as Orbea, Lambretta, Alfa or BH (bicycles, motorbikes, sewing machines) have been household names for several generations.
