<\/a><\/p>\nThis architectural heritage has been preserved in perfect condition thanks to this personal initiative, a project without subsidy, which survives thanks to the passion of Blanka, its owner, for the history and culture of her people, because what makes a town different? What is a town without its culture and history? Let’s think about it. <\/p>\n
<\/i>\n <\/p>\n“If we don’t know at all times where we are going, it can be helpful to know where we came from. I am doing my best to make you realize your historical roots. Only then will you be a human being. Only then will you be more than a naked monkey. Only then will you avoid floating in a vacuum.”<\/p>\n
Jostein Gaarder (Norwegian writer and philosopher) <\/p>\n

The town of Elosu and its Oller\u00edas neighborhood are home to this museum, small and without great boasts, but practical and efficient, characteristics that it shares with the pottery pieces of the Basque people, simple but elegant. Do you want to know why Blanka and the Basque Pottery Museum have obtained our exclusive “TurismoVasco Tiketa” accreditation? Pay attention to our argumentation. <\/p>\n

Kiln: <\/strong>Merged with the baserri that houses the Basque Pottery Museum, we find one of the oldest kilns in Euskal Herria and one of the few still standing. A unique space where you can contemplate the structure of the kilns that once occupied part of our land. This traditional oven of quadrangular plant and 9 meters of height (nowadays in disuse) has a capacity of 8.000 pieces, pieces piled up one on top of the other that occupied completely the interior space of the oven. In 1958 this colossus, which is part of the General Inventory of Basque Cultural Heritage, made its last batch. <\/p>\n![\"Interior](\"http:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Interior-del-Horno-tradicional-de-Oller%C3%ADas-1024x576.jpg\")

History: <\/strong>The museum is located in a 1711 pottery, building where the family of potters Ortiz de Zarate made their pieces until 1958 when the Urrunaga reservoir was built (a few meters from the museum) completely flooding the land from which the last of the Ortiz de Zarate family, Jose, obtained his clay. Jose’s legacy has fallen into good hands, and Blanka, his apprentice, continues to promote this art, nowadays almost extinct, with great passion and character. A long history, more than 1,000 years, same location, same task, same technique. History awaits you in Oller\u00edas, the Basque Pottery Museum awaits you.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Pieces](\"http:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Piezas-en-el-jardin-del-Museo-de-Alfarer%C3%ADa-vasca-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Building: <\/strong>The building, the pottery and its oven, were restored and opened to the public in 1993, a very ambitious project of integral recovery that is still going on (which is no small feat) with hardly any help.<\/p>\n
