Museo Arqueológico de Murcia
Museo Arqueológico de Murcia, Archaeological museum in Murcia, Spain.
The Museo Arqueologico de Murcia displays finds spanning from the Paleolithic period through the late Roman era, arranged across various exhibition spaces. The collection includes pottery, tools, jewelry, and artistic works gathered from excavations throughout the region.
Founded in 1864 as a result of efforts by the Provincial Monuments Commission, it operated first in the Teatro de los Infantes before moving to its present location in 1953. This move reflected growing public interest in preserving and presenting the region's archaeological heritage.
The galleries present rock art traditions that shaped how people in this region expressed themselves across thousands of years, revealing connections between past inhabitants and the land. Today, visitors encounter these visual expressions as windows into the daily concerns and beliefs of ancient communities.
The building is fully accessible for people with mobility needs, allowing all visitors to navigate the exhibition spaces comfortably. Staff members are available to answer questions about orientation and provide information on specific displays.
A special exhibition features a recreated archaeological workspace where visitors can observe the scientific techniques used to examine and conserve artifacts. This interactive area reveals how researchers actually work and the methods behind uncovering the past.
