Museo de León, Provincial museum in León, Spain

The Museo de León displays collections spanning from prehistoric tools to contemporary artworks across seven chronologically organized exhibition sections on multiple floors.

Founded in 1869, the museum initially occupied the San Marcos Convent before relocating to the Edificio Pallarés building in 2007, a former hardware store from 1922.

The medieval section exhibits religious artifacts including the votive cross from Santiago de Peñalba church and retables representing Gothic and Mozarabic artistic traditions.

The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 19:00, with adult admission costing €1.20 and free entry on weekends.

The museum maintains two additional sites: the Roman villa of Navatejera in Villaquilambre and a section within the historical San Marcos Convent.
