Museu de Prehistòria de València

Museu de Prehistòria de Valèncaia is an archaeological museum displaying finds from the Stone Age through the Visigothic period, located within the La Beneficència Cultural Centre. The collection contains tools, pottery, and other objects that document thousands of years of human history in this region.

The museum began in 1927 when the Provincial Council of Valencia created a department for prehistoric research. This foundation grew into the collections and institution that continues to document early human settlement in the region.

The collection shows how early inhabitants of the region created tools, pottery, and objects for daily life. These items reveal the skills and traditions that people passed down through generations in this area.

The museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday with free admission for all visitors. Plan time to explore the collections at your own pace and ask about guided tours if you would like detailed explanations.

The museum manages and conducts actual excavations at an Iberian archaeological site nearby, allowing visitors to see real dig work in progress. This active research project reveals how archaeologists uncover new discoveries and piece together ancient history.
