With a collection of that includes over 36,000 artefacts, the museum invites visitors on a journey through time from Menorcan prehistory to present day: the Talayotic era, the Paleochristian period, Islamic and Roman times…

The Museu de Menorca is not however merely a deposit for historical objects, but is instead a vibrant meeting place for learning. Through temporary exhibitions, workshops, lectures and activities for all ages, the museum provides a unique experience to understand the island from a deeper and more genuine perspective.

Commitment to conservation and sustainability is also embedded in the museum’s philosophy. Its work extends beyond the mere exhibition of artefacts, focusing on the research, study and promotion of Menorca’s cultural heritage. Furthermore, the museum collaborates with other institutions and entities to preserve and disseminate the island’s cultural and natural wealth.

The Menorca Museum is a space that encourages reflection and contemplation, but also participation and dialogue. A visit will certainly not leave you feeling indifferent, and invites you to unearth the fascinating history and culture of Menorca in an engaging and enjoyable manner.
