Beautifully designed building paying tribute to the Roman Brick. The collection is housed in a grand Hall of soaring of arches. The highlights are the mosaics recovered from houses excavated in the surrounds of the Roman town of Augusta Eremita. These are vast in size. There are also originals of statuary from the nearby theatre. I often wonder how much more we would have of Roman art if the early Christians had not vandalised so many statues. Most of these are either headless. Or have had their noses carefully hammered.
Fantastic Museum. For €3.50 (someday’s it is free) you really can’t beat the amount of history for the price.
The Museum displays big variety of artifacts and it worths visiting. However, there is no "story" linking the presented art. It would have been nice to have additional explanations so that the visitor could connect the social context and the piece of art presented.
Fantastic museum but it needs some updating. Parts of the exhibition were closed because it rained through the roof, the crypt was closed due to technical issues, the lighting in some of the showcases was dead. Nevertheless super impressive, beautiful artifacts
Franchement trop bien ! Pas trop cher,3 euros par personne.
C'est grand, propre et surtout super intéressant ! Très bon musée
Crypte fermée cause rénovation, dommage.

Very interesting guided tour. Make sure you book the tour before hand, it might be full for the day. It is free and Spanish only
This museum, in fact, this entire city center, is an archaeological, dig along the lines of anything you would see in Italy with so many treasures they are still finding from the old capital of Lusitania back in ancient Rome. If you’re at all interested in ancient Roman history and you’re in Spain you really should see the city which is a world heritage site. it’s unbelievable that a city way out in the extremadura has a rich historical inheritance, and the museum is very well organized and beautiful for a city of modest size. Ole!
