National Museum of Roman Art

The National Museum of Roman Art is an art museum in Mérida that houses a large collection of objects from ancient times. The exhibition spreads across multiple levels and displays sculptures, mosaics, ceramics, and other artifacts from the Roman settlement.

The museum was constructed between 1980 and 1986 and sits on a site where archaeologists uncovered Roman aqueducts and early Christian structures. The location itself is tied to the history of this ancient settlement.

The collection shows sculptures, mosaics, and everyday Roman objects that reveal how people lived in this ancient city. You can see how wealthy families decorated their homes and what tools they used in their daily lives.

Plan to spend time on multiple levels since the collection is extensive. Information panels in several languages help you understand the objects on display.

The building itself was designed with bricks and high arches that echo Roman construction techniques. Large windows bring natural light into the exhibition spaces and create an unusual link between modern design and ancient methods.
