recently had the pleasure of visiting the Museo Arqueológico Nacional in Madrid, and it exceeded all my expectations. This museum offers an immersive journey through the history of Spain, showcasing an impressive collection of artifacts spanning prehistoric times to the medieval period. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about Spain’s rich cultural heritage, this museum will captivate you. The exhibits are exceptionally well-organized, making it easy to navigate through different historical eras. I particularly enjoyed the Iberian and Roman collections, which feature stunning mosaics, statues, and everyday items that provide a vivid glimpse into ancient civilizations. The museum's treasure room, filled with intricate jewelry and ceremonial artifacts, was a highlight for me, reflecting the artistry and craftsmanship of bygone eras. The interactive displays and multimedia presentations throughout the museum make it engaging for visitors of all ages, offering detailed context about the items on display without being overwhelming. I also appreciated how accessible everything felt, with informative descriptions in both Spanish and English. The building itself is beautifully designed, blending modern architecture with classic touches. The atmosphere is calm and serene, which allowed me to fully absorb the wealth of knowledge and history within its walls. Plus, the admission fee is quite reasonable, making this one of the best cultural experiences in Madrid. Whether you have a deep interest in archaeology or are simply exploring Madrid's museums, the Museo Arqueológico Nacional is a must-see. You will leave with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the rich history that has shaped Spain over millennia. Highly recommended!
The National Archaeological Museum is located on Serrano Street, sharing the building with the National Library of Spain. The great new rooms, after its reopening in 2014, make the visit very fluid and allows you to discover all its incredible pieces. The National Archaeological Museum is located on Serrano Street, sharing the building with the National Library of Spain. The great new rooms, after its reopening in 2014, make the visit very fluid and allows you to discover all its incredible pieces. Its current collection is based on pieces from the Iberian Peninsula, from Prehistory to the Early Modern Age. It also has different collections from outside Spain, especially from Ancient Greece. The most numerous set is formed by the Greek vases, that include from the Mycenaean period to Hellenistic epoch (XVI to III centuries B.C.), and that constitutes one of the best collections of this type existing in Europe. These include pieces from mainland Greece, Ionia, Magna Graecia and Sicily. General admission 3€ and free for seniors over 65. Free on Saturdays from 14:00 and Sunday mornings. Compared to most European museums is somewhat surprising. It also has free lectures, music concerts, as well as other activities that allow you to enjoy and interact with a very lively museum. A great cultural space for the enjoyment of adults and children. Hispano-Visigoth Kingdom - Medieval Antiquities. Pair of aquiliform fibulae, made with the "cloisonnée" technique. Bronze, glass and gold. 501- 533 (First third S.VI).
A great example of a modern museum display! Chronologically, clearly laid out, with occasional modern digital displays and constant unobtrusive storytelling! (a lot of people followed the accompanying digital stories and thus excellently avoided the classic situation where tourists "run" through the museum without interest). I saw the remains of my 3-million-year-old Australopithecus ancestor, became interested in the fate of the Phoenicians (which we obviously didn't cover in history lessons in such detail), was amazed by the artistic expressions in ancient and Roman times, with superbly preserved and/or restored exhibits! Parts of the exhibition are replicas of artifacts that can be touched, which is not only for the blind and partially sighted, but for anyone who wants to feel, for example, what the texture of pottery from 2000 years ago looks like under the hand ... great stuff! Well done for a modern museum offense (if only we had an archeological-historical museum like this, huh!)
Ayer fui con mi mujer y nuestro perro de asistencia al Museo arqueológico Nacional. La verdad es que todo ha ido perfectamente desde antes incluso de entrar: El guardia de seguridad de la entrada de la calle ha parado a mi mujer indicándole que no podían entrar perros, pero ella le ha mostrado la placa de perro de asistencia y el carnet de registro en la comunidad de Madrid y él muy amablemente nos ha dicho que avisáramos al personal de información, y así lo hemos hecho: Nada más entrar, hemos ido directamente al stand de información para decirle a la chica que entrábamos con un perrete de asistencia, le hemos enseñado la documentación y ella ha informado por el walkie. A partir de ahí, hemos entrado sin problema y en las diferentes salas, nadie nos ha dicho nada, el personal de seguridad ha actuado como si nada, tal y como debe de ser. El "problema" y el motivo de mi puntuación, ha venido al bajar a la exposición temporal situada en la planta inferior, "Arte sin límites: Côa y Siega Verde". Allí hemos estado unos pocos minutos gracias a la vigilante de sala, una mujer rubia de pelo corto que ha demostrado tener muy poca empatía, dejémoslo ahí... Nuestro perrete como he dicho, es un perro de asistencia. En concreto, un perro de alerta médica que avisa a mi mujer que es diabética, unos minutos antes de sufrir episodios de subidas o bajadas de azúcar severos. Pues bien, nos hemos sentado un momento en uno de los bancos de la sala, e inmediatamente el perro ha ladrado a mi mujer, dándole un aviso. Ella se ha medido el azúcar, confirmando que tenía el azúcar alto. A continuación, ella ha premiado al perro tal y como tiene que hacer, dándole su comida, antes de inyectarse la insulina. Pues en ese mismo momento la mencionada vigilante ha venido como una exhalación, diciendo que no se puede comer en la sala, ni humano, ni perro, ni nadie, que no se puede ni comer ni beber, que se puede tras subir las escaleras. Mi mujer, como he dicho, es diabética, estamos hablando de un momento de riesgo en el que su cabeza y su cuerpo no funcionan como el resto. En un momento así, puede no llegar a las escaleras, ni mucho menos subirlas. Pero lo peor de todo, ha venido cuando tras premiar a nuestro perro, que es justo lo que hay que hacer para que se mantenga la vinculación entre ellos, mi mujer se ha pinchado la insulina y dicha "profesional", no tiene nada mejor que decir que no puede pincharse en esa misma sala, si no en la mencionada anteriormente, escaleras arriba... Señora, mi mujer se está medicando. No lo hace por gusto. Es como si alguien necesita medicarse tomándose una pastilla y usted también le echa la bronca porque no se puede comer en la sala. No siempre se debe ser más papistas que el Papa. De hecho, según para qué, es necesario un mínimo de formación y un algo más de empatía. Por favor, formen a su personal, está claro que les hace falta.
