National Museum of Underwater Archaeology

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.

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.

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. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

5 stars – Fascinating and beautifully presented! The Museum of Underwater Archaeology in Cartagena is an absolute gem. The exhibits are not only rich in history, but also beautifully curated and easy to explore. We were especially impressed by the stories of ancient shipwrecks and the recovered artifacts – it’s like taking a journey through time beneath the sea. The museum is modern, well-organized, and great for both adults and kids. It’s a perfect stop if you’re interested in history, the sea, or just want to learn something new in a stunning location by the port. Highly recommended!

Took the opportunity to visit during the Museum Night weekend and was super impressed with the exhibits displayed. Though it was quite disappointing to see that not all stations were functioning i.e. interactive buttons does not respond (not sure whether it has been deactivated due to pandemic safety measures). Overall a great exposure to the underwater archeological history and would definitely recommend families to visit as means of educational purposes!

This is a magical and amazing place to visit with your family and children, allowing you to dive into the history of shipbuilding, when large sailing ships roamed the seas and fired cannons. It’s got a fantastic pirate atmosphere of long voyages.
