A journey through history
The past of a people, in whose origins different civilisations succeeded one another, is definitive in the evolution and configuration of a people, and we must transmit this to all those who approach the MARQ..
The Provincial Archaeological Museum of Alicante is very interesting from an educational point of view and at the same time fun, rigorous and spectacular. The Museum also offers the possibility of learning about the archaeological method. In three of its rooms: the one for Field Archeology, the one for Urban Archeology and the one for Underwater Archeology, there are scenographies, audiovisuals and interactive elements that allow you to delve into the techniques used by archaeologists to discover the past and valuable information is offered in an attractive and educational way.
In addition, the Museum has exhibition spaces for temporary exhibitions and the necessary facilities to carry out research, conservation, restoration, cataloguing and dissemination tasks.
The different thematic areas offer visitors the opportunity to take an exciting journey through history. The Museum welcomes visitors by immersing them in the geographical area of Alicante, showing them the rich and varied landscape and monuments of these lands. From there begins the historical journey through itspermanent roomsdedicated toPrehistory, la Iberian Culture, theRoman Culture, theMiddle Ages and theModern and Contemporary Ages.
At the MARQ, the different exhibition areas are linked by introductory thematic blocks that give chronological continuity to the contents and are supported by interactive spaces that include detailed information about sites, descriptions of the archaeological pieces on display, ways of life of the different cultures, etc.
