ES NECESARIO REALIZAR RESERVA PREVIA VÍA TELEFÓNICA. AFORO LIMITADO. Co fin de reunir e protexer os bens do patrimonio cultural lucense, en 1932, a Deputación de Lugo acorda crear o Museo Provincial de Lugo, vontade que se materializa dous anos máis tarde coa apertura no Pazo de San Marcos (baixo a dirección de D. Luis López Martí) de varias salas con materiais arqueolóxicos, históricos, artísticos, etc. ata daquela dispersos en coleccións particulares. O continuo incremento de fondos e as limitacións de espazo obrigaron, en 1957, a trasladar o museo ao antigo convento de San Francisco. Conservando tres dependencias deste vello cenobio (cociña, claustro e refectorio), o arquitecto vigués D. Manuel Gómez Román (1875-1964) deseña un novo edificio con aires de pazo galego. O 1 de marzo de 1962 o Museo Provincial de Lugo foi declarado Ben de Interese Cultural. En 1997 o museo foi ampliado, segundo un proxecto do arquitecto González Trigo.

We only had a very short time here, but we knew there was one of the best collections of Celtic good jewellery here, dating back as far as 1,800 BC. Most of the objects are neck torques, of which the most important is a ceremonial torque, which weighs 3.5 kilos. There is much else to see in the museum, but that will have to wait for another visit. The museum is located in the pedestrianised centre of of the old city within Lugo’s Roman Walks, next to the Petronius de San Pedro.
