Museum of History of Valencia

In the western part of the city, next to Cabecera Park and a few steps from Bioparc, is this innovative museum, located in a building that was originally the First water tank of the city, one of the best examples of theindustrial architecture of the mid-nineteenth century. A sheet of water runs along the façade of the museum, recalling the primitive function of the building.

After passing through the lobby we find ourselves before a surprising space, formed by a forest of pillars and tiled arcades in which you lose your gaze. From the background we are greeted by Medusa’s enigmatic smile, pointing to the center of a beautiful Roman mosaic discovered in the city. The visit begins with the Time Machine, a technological resource that allows us to know the urban evolution of the city throughout its history. The permanent exhibition exhibits archaeological, artistic and historical collections, combining them with scenes that recreate the past in a dramatized way, creating a harmonious whole.

An unusual way of presenting the story in a close and understandable way, which manages to introduce us into the skin of the characters of the past.
