San Telmo Museum was officially reopened in San Sebastian on 28th March, after 4 years of rehabilitation work. The architectonic rehabilitation and expansion project was designed by Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos.

The inaugural exhibition entitled "6 thousand million of others" is a large scale "mosaic of current humanity" and will be opened to the public on 2nd and 3rd April. It can be visited until the end of August.

"6 billion Others" is an audiovisual show by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, from the GoodPlanet foundation working with artists Sibille d''Orgeval and Baptiste Rouget-Luchaire, looking at the essence of human beings. Forty fundamental questions asked to 5000 people throughout the world help us to discover what separates us from and unites us with the Planet''s inhabitants in this exhibition visiting the Basque Country for the first time.

Over 26,000 listed pieces make up the museum''s collections: paintings, sculptures, drawings, etchings, Egyptian figures, weapons, medals, ceramics, musical instruments, steles, argizaiolas -wooden funeral tables traditional used in the Basque Country- maps, photographs, farming equipment or industrial objects.

A selection of these pieces will be displayed to the public in different exhibitive segments encompassed within the titles "Traces in Time", "Awakening of Modernity" and "Art History Collection" in addition to the "From a Convent to a Museum" audiovisual showing visitors how San Telmo has changed and developed and the milestones throughout its history.
