Museum of Cádiz, Archaeological and fine arts museum in Plaza de Mina, Cádiz, Spain.

The Museum of Cádiz occupies three floors in a grand building, displaying archaeological artifacts, fine art collections, and ethnographic exhibits from the region.

The institution emerged in 1835 when paintings from various convents were seized during the Mendizábal confiscation and deposited at the Academy of Fine Arts.

The museum exhibits Phoenician artifacts, including an anthropoid sarcophagus discovered in 1887, alongside paintings from Zurbarán, Murillo, and the Cádiz school.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday, offering guided tours and educational programs in Spanish and English for different age groups.

The Tía Norica Room preserves a collection of 19th-century puppet theater figures specific to the cultural traditions of Cádiz.
