Open since November 2013, this museum devoted to 'the art of folding paper' is the first of its kind in Europe and continues to attract worldwide interest from origami aficionados. Temporary exhibitions covering some six galleries are of a staggeringly high standard. When we visited there was a life-size rhino, a dinosaur skeleton (every 'paper' vertebrae finely crafted), a virtual aquarium of fish, coral and shells and a group of delicate Degas-style ballet dancers.
The pieces are labelled with details on how many sheets of paper were used (generally just one). You can also take origami classes (one hour, €6); check the website for more information and to learn about the fascinating historical connection Zaragoza has with origami (dating back to the 1940s).
