Jurassic Museum of Asturias (MUJA)
Museo del Jurásico de Asturias
A Jurassic museum housed in a building shaped like a dinosaur footprint. The heart of Asturias's 'Dinosaur Coast', ideal for families.
The building's form imitates dinosaur footprints. Inside, about 20 replica dinosaur skeletons and footprint fossils found locally are on display, with explanatory exhibits covering the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Along the surrounding 'Dinosaur Coast', real dinosaur footprints can be seen at low tide. Admission is about 7-8 euros. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays in winter.
Opening hours
Around 10:00–14:30, 15:30–19:00 (open all day in summer; closed Mon–Tue in winter)
