Alicante has celebrated Europe Day with an initiative that shows that the citizens are the most important. On the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, the Marq also wants to vindicate its vocation as a public service, as a museum accessible and open to everyone.
In 2004, in Athens, the Marq was distinguished as the Best European Museum of the Year. In line with the commemoration of Europe Day, we would like once again to make public our gratitude for this award and we claim to belong to a Common Culture that goes beyond ideologies and nationalities in the defence of Democracy and of a fairer and more egalitarian society in diversity, beyond races, borders and creeds.
