basque museum & cultural center印象

We were lucky enough to be in Boise on the first Thursday of February, and we got to partake in all the offerings of the museum for free. It was absolutely wonderful! I for one had absolutely no idea about the Basque heritage in the Boise area, so it was an incredible learning experience. Additionally, the tour of the boarding house next door was truly extraordinary. It was really cool to see the space and transport yourself to those times, and the guide was great at answering all our questions. Also, on first Thursday they have live music which was likewise just INCREDIBLE. It was really lively and just a lot of fun to partake in. Finally, the gift shop is full of neat little Basque items and postcards, as well very friendly staff. Overall it was the absolute highlight of our stay in Boise and I highly recommend it.

Who would have thought we would find a small thriving Basque population in downtown Boise. We toured the informative museum, tracing the Basque migration from Spain to the Eastern states to the West, following the sheep, and the vineyards. We enjoyed a delicious Basque lunch at an authentic Basque restaurant across the street.

This place is fun to visit. Very interesting. The people were friendly and inviting. This is a must-see when in Boise!

The lady that runs the place is delightful and fun. Interesting to see the background of the community and how it all started. The miniature house is great. Loved the art and the old pictures too.

A fascinating glimpse of a little known group of immigrants to America. Small museum but very well done

With the largest Basque population outside the Basque homeland, Boise is the perfect location to house a museum featuring many historical pieces telling the pastoral herding story of this people.

My family is Basque so this museum was interesting for me. The pictures on the walls looked like family. If you want to understand the Basque culture a great place. Also LOVED the Scottish woman who was at the front desk...she exemplifies the friendliness of Boise.

We were able to see the museum, and the boarding house next door, for free during the First Thursday event. The best part: the group of Basque musicians that were playing accordion, that was great to see!

Hurrah! Fate had us in Boise during the time of the Basque Festival and it was fun! We enjoyed the Basque part of town, watched dances, watched them cook paella in huge, and I mean huge pans. You could buy a serving of paella and they piled it onto plates.We watched the dancers, enjoyed the music, and loved getting a chance to see three Basque sheepherder's homes on wheels. Wonderful.

We enjoyed this museum, and learned a lot of history that was left out of our history books. This is not a large museum, and you need to read as you go through, but it is well worth the time.
