Museo arqueológico Alcoy

Museums

At the beginning of the 40s, the town hall of Alcoy rehabilitated the building to be used for cultural purposes. On 18-7-1945 the museum was inaugurated under the name of Museum of Art and Public Library. Later, in 1958, it would be renamed Municipal Archaeological Museum "Camilo Visedo Moltó", in memory of its creator. In recent years the building has undergone a complete interior rehabilitation, as well as a notorious expansion (1985-1990). On the ground floor there is a changing exhibition room (90 m2), designed to show the latest research and findings. The current permanent museographic exhibition (192 m2) presents a selection of archaeological materials arranged thematically and chronologically. A specialized library is also open to the public. The museum has warehouses, a restoration laboratory, a drawing cabinet and an administration area.
