The Museum of Menorca’s collection, made of up over 250,000 pieces, has a new storage area for many of its different objects. Due to the increasing size of the collection, resulting primarily from archaeological excavations being carried out on the island every year, the Island Council of Menorca and the Museum of Menorca have established a new repository. This new space, located in a warehouse owned by the Island Council, will help to relieve the overabundance of pieces found in the storage area of on the Museum’s premises.
This exhibition is a showcase for the most interesting archaeological materials that have been unearthed by preventative excavations over the last two decades. Visitors shall also discover some of the new data gathered through these actions that shed light upon our past.
