Museo Azul de la Semana Santa

Reviewed By H8051BZkarenk - Vron, France

After having visited the Museum of embroidery of the White Brotherhood, we were also very curious to see the collection of the Blue Brotherhood. Again, amazing what a pieces of art are made by hand by a few women of the village. In this museum you can also visit the workshop where you can see all the stages of making these marvellous 'dresses'. We were the only visitors, so we could see everything at ease.

Like the Blue Museum of Holy Week, this is a similar look close up at the incredible workmanship and detailed embroidery done for Holy Week each year. Do not miss the attached gleaming chapel!

Museo Arqueologico Municipal

Reviewed By wendelld2013 - New York City, United States

This well-curated museum is built around an ancient necropolis and does an excellent job of taking you through Cartagena’s rise in the Carthaginian Empire before it became a major outpost of the Romans and, much later, the Moors. We enjoyed walking here from the port along the beautiful Alameda de San Anton, then headed north on Calle Jorge Juan for lunch at a nice strip of local restaurants you won’t find on TripAdvisor.

Museo Del Teatro Romano

By visiting the Museum of the Roman Theatre you will encounter one of the most surprising discoveries of the city in the last decades. Thanks to the ingenious design of the architect Rafael Moneo, you will start your tour of the Palace of Riquelme, the first building of the museum, and then follow the historical hallway located under the street to then move to the new space that collects the most emblematic pieces of all found in the excavations. Using modern stairs you will come to the second tunnel, this time is under the medieval church of Santa Maria, a construction superimposed to the old theatre which increases its uniqueness and attraction. After this, the second corridor, will take you to the most relevant part of the museum, the Roman Theatre, one of the largest in the Roman Hispania with capacity for 7,000 people.

This is a wonderful museum/archaeological site, but there’s much more than it appears upon entering. The entryway leads you under other buildings, which allows you to experience foundations from different time periods along with a history of the site, a architectural history of a Roman theater and displays of artifacts found at the site. You eventually emerge near the top of the Theater, but are able to wander up and down, and on to the stage. It’s definitely worth the time and small entry fee, but allow time to explore and enjoy. (Most of the museums offer a multi-ticket, which lets you buy entry to 4/5/6 museums for a reduced price. I did four in one day, and barely made it before they closed.)

Reviewed By rochesterrambler - Rochester, United Kingdom

One could probably spend a whole day at this museum if they were to read everything and use all of the interactive exhibits. With displays including items from ancient coins and pottery to large sections of ancient ships, this museum is incredible. By just pushing a button, see how large, heavy objects are lifted from the sea bed with compressed air all inside a class tube.

Museo Archeologico, Cartagena, Murcia, Spain

Around 4000 years of culture in the area of Cartagena is represented. One of the prize pieces is an extremely beautiful(even by modern standards) piece of jewellery found at Los Nietos, just a local train ride away on the shore of the Mar Menor.
