The Archaeological Museum of Alicante is currently participating in the Dutch town of Assen at the meeting of the museum platform European Exhibitions Network -EEN-. During this meeting, MARQ presented its exhibition project '.Singular PiecesThe aim of the project is to establish an international exchange circuit for archaeological treasures.
The idea is to to reproduce in other European museums the model used in the MARQ Foyer Exhibition Space.The aim is to exchange pieces between the cultural centres that take part in this initiative. The Roman bronze hand found in Lucentum, the terracotta birreme from the Iberian period at Tossal de les Basses o the Neolithic vase of the Cova d'En Pardo de Planes are the pieces that the Alicante museum has proposed to include in this collaborative network.
The European Exhibitions Network is an organisation that seeks the international cooperation between cultural complexes of historical and archaeological scope through theexchange of information and own funds with the aim of joining forces and optimising resources in the production of exhibitions. This organisation was set up last June in the Austrian city of Linz and, in addition to the MARQ, it is made up of the Landes Museen in Linz, Austria; the Mediterranean Museum of Stockholm; the Palatinate History Museum in the German town of Speyer; the Castello del Buonconsiglio of Trento in Italy and the Drents Museum in Assenin the Netherlands.
