Beautiful,
and
interesting,
the
monumental
complex
of
the
monastery,
which
is
the
main
headquarters
of
the
History
Museum.
Recent
restoration
interventions
have
made
it
possible
to
visit
spaces
such
as
the
Romanesque
towers
of
Fum
and
Corn,
which
flank
the
unique
pre-Romanesque
façade
of
La
Porta
Ferrada,
the
Abbot's
palace,
with
rooms
for
temporary
exhibitions,
or
the
museographic
renovation
of
the
permanent
exhibitions.
On
the
First
floor
is
the
old
chapter
house
that
houses
the
First
Millenniums
space,
intended
to
display
the
archaeological
collection
that
emerged
from
the
various
excavation
campaigns.
The
current
exhibition
takes
a
tour
of
the
Iberian
era
until
the
beginning
of
Romanization,
with
interest
in
everyday
life
and
the
world
of
beliefs,
conveyed
by
a
synthetic,
formal
and
accessible
discourse
with
illustrations
and
interactive
elements.
The
towers
and
their
architecture
attract
attention,
but
the
Thyssen
exhibition
houses
works
of
dubious
taste.
