Archaeological Museum of Alicante

If you’re looking for a great indoor activity, don't miss MARQ. It’s one of the most underrated spots in the city and perfect for kids because of the interactive setups. Get your tickets and store your backpack in the ticket office. It’s very easy to walk through and the staff is lovely. Just a heads up: they are closed Mondays, and if you go on a Sunday or public holiday, it’s actually cheaper (€3) though they close a bit earlier. It took us around 1 hour to finish. Very clean facilities and a great overall experience!

It is well organised and informative place. Staff very friendly and helpful. Tickets are not expensive. Few minus was English was lacking in some areas especialy where you could press on screens. Several areas were made accessible to the blind people, but again this was only in a few places not throughout the museum which it would great idea to keep for those people. There is nice coffee shop with seats. So if you don't like visit museum you can enjoy cup of coffee or fresh orange juice in a shade under big autralians huge trees. Solution for everyone

Very nicely arranged exhibition. Large-screen videos are played according to the season and add to the appropriate atmosphere. However, I was hoping for a larger exhibition. If you have water with you, you have to put it in the locker. Otherwise, they won't let you through the security. It costs 50 cents.

The museum itself is very well designed. The permanent exhibition explores the history of the region and the city (although the descriptions are not in English but the audioguide works well). There’s also a section about archeology itself that was interesting too. The whole visit including the temporary exhibition took around 2 hours.

Very well organized museum, the permanent area is showing the old Hispanic and Mediterranean history, plus a multitude of objects found around Alicante. Interesting and a good stop to enjoy.

The full size dioramas of archeological digs on land and sea were impressive. The normal side of the museum was well laid out and had interesting exhibits. The interactive displays had text in different languages, including English. The ticket office wasn't in the most obvious place and the signs were misleading. It is the building on the right and the automatic door entrance is round the corner, not visible from the main gate.

Although we have been here many times we try to visit whenever they have a special exhibition on. These vary through the year and are exceptional. The permanent exhibits are great too so if its a girstbtime or a second visit I would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful visit to MARQ in Alicante yesterday. The building is beautiful, and the park in front is lovely. We attended a candlelight concert and truly enjoyed every moment – such a magical experience!
