This museum tells the story of maritime history through archeological and historic discoveries. It's relatively small, but there is lots to see. The exhibits are many and varied, and displayed well, with information panels (most with English translations). It's only €3 admission, and is well worth a visit.

Very interesting, well documented, and an enjoyable visit. It's a pity that some of the screens weren't working.

An impressive display of underwater archaeological remains in the port of Cartagena, Spain. I can't even imagine what else they have stored. It's a shame that guided tours are only on weekends. If you're in the area, it's worth taking a break and enjoying the visit.

A magnificent museum of underwater archaeology featuring a vast collection of artifacts and information. Just seeing the treasure recovered from La Mercedes is worth the visit. They also frequently host temporary exhibitions; during my visit, it was dedicated to the Phoenicians.

It may be small, but it packs a lot in to its modern, bright interior. Lots to maritime artefacts to interact with and learn about. I especially enjoyed learning about the Phoenician boat relic.

Perfect for maritime history enthusiasts, families interested in archaeology, and curious visitors. It's a modern place that is both contemporary and original. Very organized and unique. They have some very interesting audiovisual presentations. Their collection of ancient coins is also quite captivating. I wholeheartedly recommend it for a good time while learning many fascinating things. By the way, there are lockers at the entrance where you can leave your backpack if you don't want to carry it around. Best regards. I hope I was able to help someone.

A charming museum experience, unique and very engaging (you are, of course, invited), in Cartagena, with the ARQVA. Maximum one and a half hours, relaxed. Highly interesting details to better understand our past, which always lays the foundation for the future.

This museum is beautiful. It is accessible to all. Free to those over 65. It is within a very short walk from the cruise ship pier. They have intriguing artifacts from many shipwrecks. You can see some of the silver and gold coins found by Odyssey and returned to the Spanish government. They have many hands-on activities that intrigue both adults and kids. 90-minutes is more than enough time for this museum. For 3 pounds to enter (unless you are very old or very young) it’s a great deal.

Quite interesting interactive exposition right in the puerto! With parking and other attractions definitely a must see! Sundays are free.

Super museum! ⭐⭐⭐ I really liked the idea of ​​combining a visit to the museum with a quest. For children to look for superheroes in different locations and win prizes. The children are not bored and it was interesting for us to look at the exhibits. There are a lot of different eras and even interactive expositions where you can interact with different objects. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
