Archaeological Museum of Alicante

Fabulous museum, one of the best in Spain. The Dénia temporary exhibition is fascinating, I would like to congratulate the curators for such a well-designed exhibition. I had no idea Dénia had such a rich history, and the artefacts communicate this extremely well. I highly recommend a guided tour, which lasts for about an hour. My guide Josep did an amazing job of explaining Dénia’s heritage, so much so that I stayed for another hour afterwards to continue appreciating the artefacts. I always enjoy MARQ, but this visit was unexpectedly fun and interesting!

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.

A pleasant stop, space for luggage if you're traveling, good atmosphere, but watch your step, it's quite dark in there.

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.

Magnificent museum, superb range of multimedia displays. I ended up spending nearly 3 hours there as it was so interesting.

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.
