Ur mara, a museum at a forest in Alkiza

Outdoorart

Anauthormuseumthatfusesartandnature

The Ur mara Museum exhibits works of all kinds outdoors, among the trees of an autochthonous forest. Not only does it house Koldobika Jauregi’s work, it is also an extension of his concerns: ecology, ethnography, nature, philosophy and poetry.

More than just a museum

Ur mara constitutes a springboard of the diversity of artistic languages and their different processes, creating a platform of education, knowledge and dialogue that favors experimentation and freedom.

The main showrooms of the Ur mara museum are part of an autochthonous forest: among beeches, oaks, ash trees, chestnut trees and birches we find sculptures and installations, a natural auditorium and also ethnographic traces such as an old lime burner housed next to the small limestone quarry.

Koldobika Jauregi and Elena Cajaraville were inspired by the work of Henry David Thoreau to build their own cabin in the woods, in which they lived for a time. Now it is a space linked to the project ‘Refuge of the Word’, dedicated to poetry and free thought. Do you want to live the experience of spending the night in it?
