Both Informative and interactive, this museum should definitely be on your shortlist! It contains a significant amount of artifacts from local prehistoric caves, while using projections, videos and VR to be highly interactive for the younger generations. The entrance fee is really reasonable when you consider the amount of time that you can spend here. However if you are a bit thrifty, come down on a Sunday, it is free then!

This museum is an example that could be adopted by others. It has not only multi language support, but age indication on the floor, plus a unique frame in each room, giving you an immersive experience. Just had an amazing visit.

A really fantastic museum - the interactive displays (in a range of languages) are clear, helpful and informative. It has lots for children too and little interactive quizzes. The amount of stunning artefacts is incredible. We visited after going to the Cuevas de Castillo and it was really relevant. I thought 4 euros was excellent value (although I think it’s free on Sunday afternoons). Amazing!

Fantastic museum that takes you through from prehistoric monolithic to medieval times. Well worth the admission price, which for a senior is €1. Standard admission is €3 which again for what you are getting is excellent value. Check opening days and hours before you go.
