Traveler reviews
Noble Al
★★★★★8 months agoGreat place to learn about prehistory and early history of Spain. Amazing VR experience of Tarragona in the great Roman exhibition. Well worth the €7 entrance. Pro tip, use your favourite Ai tool to give you an in-depth audio guide of each artifacts/place/time you are interested in.
John Miller
★★★★★6 months agoAn excellent museum with interactive features highlighting some very ancient exhibits. A lot of it is in Spanish, but Google Translate works great. The Roman section has an excellent audio tour available in multiple languages.
