Museo Arqueológico Municipal de Cartagena

The museum exhibits archaeological findings from local excavations, including Roman inscriptions, ceramics, architectural elements, and sculptural pieces from different historical periods.

Founded on October 24, 1943, under director Antonio Beltrán Martínez, the museum originated from collections of Roman inscriptions transmitted since the late 16th century.

The permanent exhibition follows an educational approach, organizing materials chronologically on the first floor and thematically on the second floor, featuring a central necropolis.

The facility includes work rooms, a library, workshops, photographic laboratories, and restoration areas to support ongoing archaeological research and conservation efforts.

The discovery of the San Antón necropolis in 1967 led to the construction of a new museum building specifically designed to preserve this archaeological site.
