Located next to the National Library, it was born with the idea of exposing archaeological, ethnographic, and decorative arts finds scattered in different institutions. The permanent exhibition covers a historical tour of Spain, from Prehistory to the 19th century. It has excellent collections of all kinds, such as sarcophagi, Egyptian mummies; decorative arts from the Hispano-Roman sphere; Arab archeology or Mudejar ashlar masonry and ceramics, among others. It has a library specialized in scientific publications on art, history, archeology and museology. One of the most admired treasures is the Lady of Elche, an Iberian work that surprises with the proportion and balance of her face, which indicate a strong influence of Greek art. The six crowns of the incredible Treasure of Guarrazar, the most extraordinary example of Visigothic goldsmithing. The Statue of Livia and the Lady of Baza are among many other works that stand out
