Museum of archaeology

MARQ. An interesting name for an interesting archaeological museum although it had been open for 10 years it still felt as though it was under construction, but maybe that was just the rotation of exhibit and we were there at an off time. Archaeological evidence point to a native people in the area who used stones and developed an agrarian lifestyle. Later, the Romans brought their influence with construction of fortresses then of course the Spanish brought their own influences. No matter the cultural influence, the city was always Ocean based as such, marine, archaeology has exposed many different types of ships found in the bottom of the bay.

I thought the museum did a really good job of presenting the different evolutions of people. Sadly, very little of it was in English and they didn’t even have an audio guide to make up the difference. It’s not that I expect every museum to include English in it written displays, but I do think the potential for creating an audio supplement was missed in this museum.Read more
