The Archaeological Museum of Murcia (Spanish: Museo Arqueológico de Murcia; MAM) is a State-owned archaeological museum in Murcia, Spain.
History
The Museum of Antiquities of Murcia was created by means of a 6 July 1864 royal order, constituted as an added section to the Museum of Painting and Sculpture, created earlier in the year.[1] In 1910, the museum moved to a new building designed by Pedro Cerdán.[2] In the 1950s, the museum moved again to its current premises, also known as Casa de la Cultura.[3] The Spanish State transferred the museum's management to the Murcia's regional administration in 1984, while retaining its ownership.[1] In 1962, the building was declared a Monument Historical-Artistic.[4]
Exhibitions
The permanent exhibition consists of 16 rooms, which contain sections on prehistory, the Paleolithic, and the Bronze Age.[5] There is also a room on Iberian history, which contains "one of the most important Spanish collections of Iberian art".[4]
