    If you have any questions forget about getting answers. Workers know as much history as a grasshopper. Amazing cultural heritage display with local costumes and folklore but no information at all. No books, no panflets, no nothing. Poorly lit and horrible configuration. A city like Cáceres deserves a beautiful museum with great workers and good information. This is absolutely ridiculous for the magnificence of the city and the people who fought for her history through the the times.

    Very nice museum with free income. Most info is in Spanish, but you can get a small booklet with English and French information (only a basic summary, not the full translations). A lot of the collection is on the stone and bronze age, and on things such as Spanish agriculture, clothing, worship. This wasn't our main interest for our visit in Caceres, but certainly worth our time for a quiet stroll through the museum.

    Nice little spot to learn something about Cáceres. Good display of artifacts and art. The cistern below is a nice quick peek into another world. Did I mention that it’s free?

    What a great museum covering a great deal of local and Spanish history. Starting in about 3000bc, you make your way through artefacts from different eras in Caceres and wider Spain (through Roman, Visigoth and Moor times, to 20th century). The building is also a great part of the exhibit, including an cistern under the building. The fine are section has works from Picasso and Miro which is very impressive for the €1,20 entrance fee (or free for citizens of the EU!) Detailed information is in Spanish but more concise in English.

    Great bronze age pieces. Amazing museum for a smaller city. The 6,000 year old carved idol. The Roman and Visigothic pieces.

    Except for the cistern, I would skip the museum even if it's free. The museum's pamphlet is available in Spanish, French and Portuguese only. All three languages are roman based and are useless for English or German speakers.

    A little hidden gem. Free, in a fantastic building. A great range of archaeological artifacts. Lacks some English interpretation but well worth checking out for 30 minutes.

    EU citizens don’t pay, non EU pay a symbolical 1,20 euro and it’s definitely worth it.

  • 5/5 Deniz Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice museum with friendly, helpful staff. Interesting archeological pieces and even artworks from Miro. Entrance is free for EU citizens. The old arabic cistern at the basement is nice and a must-see (in case you aren’t claustrophobic though 😄)

    Good historic museum that should be visited to understand the history of Cáceres. A must see if you have the time.

    The museum itself is beautifil and interesting, located in a historic building. Entrance is free. BUT there are almost no signs in English - a constant problem in Spain. We would be willing to help if the managing authority would contact us.

    I was very impressed. Not a big building but an extensive collection of local treasures. From flint axes and bronze age brooches to looms and ploughs, musical instruments, traditional costumes and a fully intact cellar/water store built by the Moors 900+ years ago. No endless religious/royal/aristocratic paintings (had enough of those in the Prado last week). Everything was part of real people's lives which is for me what a museum should reflect. Don't miss it.

    Polite staff at the entrance and friendly. The museum is free on sundays. Even if weekdays it has a fee it is very minimal and can help atleast in the maintenance of the museum. It has a clean toilet inside. You will spend about 20-30 minutes in this museum. Be sure not to miss the water area and inside it is quite cold

    Was a wonderful time. Free admission on Sunday, but I easily would have paid. Definitely an underated museum!

    It's a great museum..

  • 5/5 Cheese C. 5 years ago on Google
    Worth a visit, even if only to see the Arab cistern. Interesting archeological artefacts found in the local area a on display. Free entry if you're a citizen of the EU member state, if not it's still only 1.5€ for admission.
