About
- Opened in 2016 and brings together the former Fine Arts Museum and the Archaeological Museum: more than 2,000 works of art and more than 15,000 archaeological pieces
- Must-sees: the Roman statue Thoracata, the mosaic of the Birth of Venus, the Venus of Benaoján and the Dolorosa by Pedro de Mena
- Huge neoclassical building with a central courtyard
Good to know
- Free with an EU ID card or passport: the best free cultural plan in the city
- Pick one floor (Fine Arts upstairs, Archaeology downstairs) if you're short of time: seeing it all takes a good two hours
- A great refuge on a rainy or very hot day
- Go up to the top floor: from the Blossom restaurant and the terrace there are views of the Paseo del Parque and the Alcazaba
- Closed Mondays
