National Archaeological Museum

The National Archaeological Museum in Madrid invites visitors to explore the rich tapestry of Spain’s past, from prehistory through to the early modern period. The museum's collections are particularly strong in Iberian, Roman, and Medieval artifacts, including the iconic Lady of Elche, an Iberian bust that has become a symbol of Spanish cultural heritage. The museum also features significant Egyptian, Near Eastern, Greek, and Roman collections, providing a broad context for understanding the historical influences that shaped Spain. Newly renovated, the museum integrates modern technology with artifacts to create interactive displays that engage visitors of all ages in the wonders of archaeology.
