Museo De Huelva

The Huelva Museum is located on Alameda Sundheim, one of the city's most iconic avenues. It was a residence of the high bourgeoisie in the first decades of the 20th century. Opened in 1973, the museum offers the city a cultural space showcasing archaeological finds from the Huelva area from prehistory to the last 20th century, such as works by Daniel Vázquez Díaz and José Caballero.

The building itself of the museum was designed by the Sevillian architect Lorenzo Martín Nieto, who also restored the Chapel of San Pedro and the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs of Aracena. It is an architectural design with Mudejar details.

The museum consists of three floors and a basement divided into two main parts: Archeology and Fine Arts.

The most visited and well-known room of the museum is the permanent archaeological room, where archaeological finds from the Paleolithic and Neolithic to the finds of Cabezo de La Joya and Cabezo de San Pedro are displayed in well-differentiated chronological blocks.

In this room, the Tartesian sites entitled 'Tartessos, from myth to reality' are a tour of Tartesian Andalusia and other contemporary civilizations, which also arose on the Spanish coasts, such as the Phoenician and Greek. On this ground floor is the Roman NORIA DE RIO TINTO, which opens a new archaeological period in the museum.

On the first floor are the exhibition rooms for Fine Arts, including the permanent exhibition space with works from the 13th century to works from 1992, both in sculpture and painting.
