We visited this museum on a wet February day. We received a warm welcome from the staff. The museum is free, which is a pleasant surprise and halleluja, it is free of hordes of tourists. The Phonecian section was fascinating and we particularly enjoyed the section showing (relatively) modern painters from Cadiz. A lovely museum and well worth a visit.

The bottom floor of the museum does a very good job in outlining the history of the region. It also contains interesting archeological findings, such as the two "stars" of the museum--the Phoenician sarcophegi. There is a robust collection of paintings and other art on different floors.

This is a great collection, well presented and interesting. Lots of Roman jewellery , which I found interesting and the history of Cadiz was really well put together.

Situated in the center of the city this is a smallish museum but has a good range of subject matter on view from local archaeology to a varied art collection. All well laid out in this pleasant modern building.

A point that appears in many of my trip’s reviews: I’m a barefooter, and if a museum doesn’t let me in without shoes, it gets 1 point less than I’d normally give. There’s no good reason why anyone should have to wear shoes in a museum and insisting about it is nothing but a sign of a repressive society that... More

A small museum with something for everyone - archeological finds, 18th century oil painting, and don't miss the marionettes on the top floor.

What an interesting museum with a range of exhibits! The Phoenician sarcophagi, the Murillo and Zurbaran pieces, and the 19th-20th century puppet theaters are all very memorable.

It was a useful and quite interesting visit. Unfortunately just a few plates in the exposition have English descriptions. But it's god that the city maintains this museum.
