The Museo Arqueológico Nacional de España was founded in 1867 in an imposing 19th century building which he shares with the National Library at the back;

The museum groups thousands of objects found in all of Spain, as well as some coming from Egypt, Greece and Etrusque.
It holds in particular a rich collection of the El Argar Andalousian civilization (1800-1100 BC), and you can visit outside a reconstitution of the Altamira Grotto with superb paleolitic paintings.

Since 2008-2009, the museum have been in renovation, and should reopen its doors in summer 2013. Less
