Museum of the Roman Theatre of Cartagena

THE ROMAN THEATRE MVSEUM IN CARTAGENA The regeneration project of the Roman Theatre in Cartagena has taken into account the integration of the remains in the urban network, as well as its adequate preservation and presentation for learning and cultural purposes. Also, the considerable wealth of the pieces for the successive excavation campaigns discovered in the Theatre have given the opportunity to provide the city with a new museum space, the Roman Theatre Mvseum, that not only serves as an adequate exhibition framework, but also, in the bright concept of the architect Rafael Moneo, leads the visitors to the interior of the monument, converting the Roman Theatre into its ultimately great hall.The visit to the archaeological site starts with the Museum, the entrance to which is situated on Plaza del Ayuntamiento, in front of the City Hall. The tour of the rooms directly leads the visitor to the inside of the monument. Therefore, the visitor takes a trip in time which leads to the unexpected appearance of the imposing terrace of the Roman Theatre.
