MARQ is an archaeology museum which is dedicated to displaying its collection in a traditional way; as a collection of classified and catalogued finds. MARQ is a project faced with the challenge of being the first archaeological museum of the 21st century.

Known as the MARQ this very modern museum displays many archeological artefacts in different, themed areas. From prehistory to contemporary there are many audio-visual and interactive displays with plenty of space to move round so that everyone can see everything. The lighting is (deliberately) dim which lends something to the atmosphere. Hang on to your little ones if you take them because I think they could easily get lost in this museum. There is an entry fee but it was only €1.50 each. Be aware that, like most museums in Spain, it's closed on Mondays.

Another impressive museum in Alicante province presenting the history of the region. This museum preserves a large collection of remains found in the excavation of the many sites in the region, including the Venus found in a water tank on the Alcudia site. Presentation is clear and well documented, but most impressive is the way the museum uses historic spaces. You enter through a modern building and then go through an underground passage under the square to see the Arab walls and towers and then into the castle where the final rooms are to be found. There is also a cafe and a public car park beneath the building.
