They have an interesting collection from paleolithic thru bronze age times. Including one of the biggest "coffee" cups ever. As you'll learn from visiting the museum there are probably 50 or more sites within 35 or 40 miles of Valencia including numerous caves inhabited from as much as 300,000 years ago. Like many if the museums in Valencia it only costs 2€ at the most, with various discounts depending on age, etc. It was very quiet, not that busy. Nice atmosphere and a lot of educational material. Worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) A shame With how easy it is to design an accessible tour ... They force you to go up and down stairs. I highly doubt they comply with CTE and accessibility laws. Plus, they waste everyone's time going up and down ladders ... (Original) Una pena. Con lo fácil que es diseñar un recorrido accesible... Te obligan a subir y bajar escaleras. Dudo mucho que cumplan el CTE y las leyes de accesibilidad. Además, hacen perder el tiempo a todo el mundo subiendo y bajando escalas...

Loved the serenity of the museum on a Sunday which is also free. Don’t take large bags. Suggest starting at the top and going in one direction until dropping to the next floor. Then into a beautiful garden

If you don't speak advanced Catalan or Spanish don't bother coming. There are English explanations of the room / theme but not of the exhibits. I ask the curator to get the guards at every entrance to guide visitors to these stands. It will vastly improve their experience. The temp exhibition is / was in English and Spanish. Great rich collection let down by lack of international translation (English/French etc), so pick up a sheet. The temporary exhibiition of early, bronze to post Roman Galician culture was very interesting.

This museum was amazing!!! Don't let other reviews put you off if you are English speaking. The museum had more than enough info in English for us (info sheets) and the temp exhibition was in English. If you're interested in human prehistory this is the place to go. Their artists/curators are extremely creative and everything has been laid out so beautifully and artistically. What a pleasant experience. We went on the weekend expecting to pay 2 EUR but it was free!

Pretty large museum, very interesting for people interested in Prehistoria (and Ethnology, which museum is accessible there too). It's free to enter there, and very calm. A lot to learn and see there.

Location : Near metro Turia Price : 3 Euros ( if u are professor will be free) Reserva: No The staff super nice . O am impressed about this museum really big and have nice History of Human and Spain . I will not tell you what inside it worth to discovery by your own. Ps: after visit all the thing you can take a coffee inside the museum .super nice

One of the best museums I visited in my life, the ticket free and you will enjoy in this place. It will take around 3 hours from your time.

This place is HUGE, so if you are a fan of ancient history, don't even think of doing it in one visit. Probably requires some previous knowledge to be interesting; for me, the history of the human race and early tool-making offered lots of new insight, while some other areas (where I feel less at home to start with) remained dry and distant. Then again, does everything have to be entertaining in the first place? This museum is for those who actually want to know.

(Translated by Google) Excellent reconstructions and cutting-edge exhibition stands. (Original) Ottime ricostruzioni ed allestimenti espositivi all'avanguardia.

(Translated by Google) For those people who like prehistory and archeology it is quite good. The museum is very large with a huge patio. In a fairly good area with nearby colleges and universities. (Original) Para aquellas personas que les guste la prehistoria y la arqueología está bastante bien. El museo es muy grande con enormes patio. En una zona bastante buena con colegios y universidades cercanas.

(Translated by Google) Interesting collection of archaeological finds from our Prehistory and history. (Original) Interesante colección de hallazgos arqueológicos de nuestra Prehistoria e historia.

Extremely well presented and interesting museum on the stone age and bronze age peoples that lived around Valencia. The section on cave paintings and rock carvings alone was worth hunting this museum up. It also touches on most other eras of local history as well. The section on the 1900s, was half history museum and half art museum. Very well done!

Valencian museum of prehistory is quite fine. Entrance is 2 euros from Monday to Friday but on weekend it’s free. There is no queue, very quiet and nice place. If you are really interested in history and old stuff, it’s a nice place to go. You can also visit the museum of ethnology together with this museum.

Its amazing. Took us 3 hours. Free on a bank holiday too

(Translated by Google) various kinds There are several different exhibitions The venue is large, and it takes time to watch it all. If you are looking at flowers, it is another matter. People who want to watch the exhibition slowly may have to prepare for spending an morning or afternoon The content is too rich Almost English description Also on the manual Fair exhibition for foreign tourists (Original) 種類繁多 有好幾個不同的展覽同時展出 場館很大 如果要全部看完也相當花費時間 如果是走馬看花就另當別論 想要慢慢看展覽的人可能要有花費一個上午或下午的心理準備 內容實在太過豐富 幾乎都有英文描述 手冊上也有 對外國遊客相當友善的展覽

Sunday free entrance. This museum is located in the heart of the old town. Everything inside is modern art, also some installations. The administration use to change the collections every time, so, never is the same. But I think they could be better work with more pieces. According to my experience, is the best museum in Valencia. Enjoy the visit.

2€ entrance fee was totally worth it! The only thing I felt sad was it was quite lack of English information. The small map in English was not enough to fully enjoy exhibition.

(Translated by Google) Located in the Benefit building. It has different rooms that periodically offer exhibitions to part of the rooms of the Museum of prehistory. They carry out workshops and recreational activities for children as well as open-air theater and concerts both in their courtyards and in the beautiful chapel inside the building. (Original) Ubicado en el edificio de la Beneficiencia. Cuenta con distintas salas que periódicamente ofrecen exposiciones a parte de las salas del Museo de prehistoria. Realizan talleres y actividades lúdicas para niños así como teatro al aire libre y conciertos tanto en sus patios como en la hermosa capilla que hay en el interior del edificio.

A very enlightening experience. You get to see coins, statues, artifacts, epitaphs, from BC eras which make you think about how fast life is. Also some musings on how Valencia tourism has brought some elements of the culture forward and some elements back. We went around 6pm and were rushing to get to the end of the museum since it closes at 8pm. Maybe spend about 3-4 hours here to get to appreciate it. Also if you don't speak Spanish - you can try the Google Translate app as it has a camera which can translate the non-English captions.

Big collection. Little English explanation unfortunately. During workdays very little people. We were the only once in the morning.

I made friend with the security guard / guide tía se llama Lupe. on the weekends it's free, so I come here whenever I'm in a mood for chat and admiring the legacy of the Roman republic & empire. Te amo Lupe 😘

From prehistoric to modern days in Valencia the museum shows the different eras. Almost nothing had a label in English so some of the rooms were really boring when you dont understand what you are seeing.

Excellent museum. Very recommended.

A very interesting and comprehensive collection and cheap/free to enter but no English translations.

Been there twice. Really good collection of tools and ceramics, mainly from the area. It's interesting to see, but I'd recommend going with a guide to understand everything better

(Translated by Google) Interesting and complete collection (Original) Interesante y completa colección

5 stars. Wonderful prehistory section. The yellow on metal Spanish text was hard to read - that really needs improving!

Worth a visit

Excellent museum, focusing on the early history of Valencia and its development as culture changed. All the signs are in Castellano or Valenciano, so be prepared with Google Lens if you don’t read either.

Lovely prehistoric museum - massive and was free for us to enter. There are lots of high quality exhibits as well as some interactive things for children. Good air conditioning for hot days and clean toilets. Not many exhibits are in English (a small amount are) - vast majority are in Valencian and Spanish which was okay for me but not so great for my friends who only spoke English or other languages.

Except the lack of English translations the museum is really good. Focus of Iberian antiquity and interesting temporary exhibitions. Now (until February) there is a Visigothic Valencia on display. Nice.

The entrance is free and the place is huge. It has many different and interesting expositions.

This was fascinating. Look for english leaflets at every corner to fully appreciate the exhibits

This is a wonderful museum. It's quiet and not crowded and the displays are well lit and informative. Inside the museum complex, in a courtyard is a spectacular Byzantine Church that was built in the 19th century which opens for free concerts and events for children. The museum is quite a contrast with the visual world of El Barrio Carmen, where some of the ugliest graffiti in the world is on display.

Neither the undistinguished entrance or uninspired entry area adequately indicate the rich extent & diversity of the collection beyond. Displays are innovative & informative, whether one is fluent in Spanish or not. One of the top highlight offerings for any cultural visit to Valencia.

Fantastic collection. Would have been a 5, but unfortunately, most displays do not have a description in English, and many of the plaques are difficult to read because of the text color and reflective background.

Very nice museum and very modern! You can learn a lot about the history of Valencia and Spain en general! Also on Sundays it's free entrance

Absolutely beautiful, you can spend two hours enjoying the museum!

Very well presented exposition that starts in the lower paleolithic and ends with the visigoths.

It was very interesting wasn't it epileptic caveman grass

Really good value for money - huge building and lots to see. Courtyard garden and cafe lovely.

Amazing museum! Comprehensive collection of very intriguing art of acts.

Highly recommended!! Huge museum, wide variety of items

Great museum (in all senses, 2 hours are not enough to see it all)

(Translated by Google) An easy-to-visit museum with adequate capacity control for the covid times we live in. The building is old with a cloistered garden in the center. Inside the building you can visit different museums. I lean towards Prehistory, which takes a journey from the beginning of time to the Romanization of the Valencian community. You have many original pieces and it is very careful, I highly recommend your visit and more these days that you cannot leave the city (Original) Un museo fácil de visitar y con un control de aforo adecuado para los tiempos de covid que vivimos. El edificio es antiguo con un jardín enclaustrado en el centro. Dentro del edificio se pueden visitar distintos museos.

Tienes muchas piezas originales y está muy cuidado, recomiendo mucho su visita y más estos días que no se puede salir de la ciudad

Modern, familiar museum with friendly staff and insights about the regional history. Free admission on weekends, else only two euros.

Nice exhibitions, but no English texts

Archeological historical stuff of valencia. Don't let the name fool you. We came here to see dinosaurs only to discover pottery and old coins. It's a nice museum and the setup is very neat. But it was something different than what we expected.

Out of the way gem. Lots of local antique exhibits for range of topics. Great styling. Lovely cheap authentic tapas in cafe in quiet courtyard. Museum shop has plenty of interesting knick knacks and Spanish books.Well worth visiting if just tfor tourist gifts!

Very nice place. Was here three times. Very upset this summer, that part of the halls is closed to the public! Much of what was previously closed now! On the ground floor there used to be a cafe, now it does not work either. The feeling of abandonment, neglect. The third time there were the only visitors. Very sad. Admission is inexpensive 2 euros for adults and 1 euro for children. Parking is problematic. P. S. Add that upsets and annoys MOST OF ALL: all the information is written in Catalan, and duplicated barely visible in Spanish Castilian. In English, NO WORDS. Why are you depriving yourself of visitors? You have them, and so is negligible.

We were very surprised by the breadth and depth of this museum's scope, and while we planned on zipping through within an hour we actually stayed for three! Outstanding interpretation, artifacts, and displays. Plenty of literature in English, for those curious.

Really enjoyed this although some items did not have English translation, most did. Would have given it 5 stars if all had the translation..... definitely recommend a visit....and it's free!

(Translated by Google) Fantastic, the children enjoyed it as much as we did (Original) Fantástico, los niños lo disfrutaron tanto como nosotros

(Translated by Google) It is a visit that you can not miss in Valencia, it has two floors, in the first one you can travel from the Paleolithic to the bronze age and a monographic room about the history of money, in the second we find the Iberian culture and the Roman world, there is currently a room on the Visigoths in the Valencian territory will remain until June / 20 (Original) Es una visita que no puedes dejar de hacer en valencia, cuenta con dos plantas, en la primera se puede recorrido desde el paleolítico hasta la edad de bronce y una sala monográfica sobre la historia del dinero, en la segunda encontramos la cultura ibérica y el mundo romano, actualmente hay una sala sobre los visigodos en el territorio valenciano permanecerá hasta junio/20

The flintstone cartoon theme keeps running thru my head, as I walk around. Lots of broken vessel bowls, coins, bones, flint stones. Not a whole lot to be read in English. Ya pre-history. Interesting but little repetitive.

(Translated by Google) Must visit museum (Original) Museo imprescindible de visitar

(Translated by Google) Excellent family museum, with its diversity of cultural programs (Original) Excelente museo para la familia,con sus diversidades de programas culturales

(Translated by Google) Wonderful Valencian museum, for me it is the best, of all, where you can see various exhibitions, starting with the history of the coin, passing through various stages of prehistory, especially the organization and the way that this tophus exhibited with extensive spaces, and the ethnological museum, where we can see moments of history, Valencia's customs, industries, I love this museum (Original) Maravilloso museo valenciano , para mi es el mejor, de todos , donde se puede apreciar varias exposiciones , empezando por la historia de la moneda,, pasando por varias etapas de la prehistoria , sobre todo la organización y la forma que esta tofo expuesto con amplios espacios , y el museo etnológico , donde podemos ver momentos de la historia,de Valencia sus costumbres , industrias , me encanta este museo
