This modern museum focuses chiefly on two prehistoric Almerían cultures of major importance – Los Millares (3200–2250 BC; probably the Iberian Peninsula's first metalworking culture), and El Argar (2250–1550 BC), which ushered in the Bronze Age. The numerous well-displayed finds from these sites are accompanied by excellent explanatory displays in English as well as Spanish.
Even if ancient pots and bones normally make you yawn, don’t skip this – it’s a rare example of multimedia technology deployed to excellent effect, touched with a Spanish flair for the macabre.
