Museo de la Evolución Humana

The Museum of Human Evolution is located on the south bank of the Arlanzón River in Burgos, Spain. It is about 16 kilometers west of the Sierra de Atapuerca, which has produced some of the world's most notable human fossil discoveries. In addition, part of the museum's exhibits come from the Archaeological Site of Atapuerca, which was designated a World Heritage Site in 2000. It is the centerpiece of the "Complejo de la Evolución Humana", which also includes a conference center, the CENIEH research institute, and the museum itself.

Juan Navarro Baldeweg, an award-winning Spanish architect, created the structure. It was erected on the "solar de Caballera", a huge plot of ground in downtown Burgos that originally housed the monastery of San Pablo, one of the most important Dominican institutions in Castile (also known as the Order of Preachers). Following its extinction in the mid-nineteenth century, military barracks were constructed in its stead.
