Museo Nacional de Arte Romano
In the Ground Floor, the biggest remains of the Museum are stored: sculptures from governors, representations of varied religious rituals and interesting myths, and the best parts of Mérida's famous monuments, the secrets of their gladiatorial games and elaborate theatre productions. In the First Floor, the daily life items wait, in a remarkable state of preservation: objects from the kitchen, the office, the nursery and the ladies' dressing room, all bearers of curious traditions. In the Second Floor, the inhabitants of the old Mérida speak back to us modern visitors through messages in gigantic mosaics and minuscule tablets. They tell us where they came from, their colourful professions, their romances and tragedies, and their many adventures two millenia ago. Finally, in the Cript, accompanied by the guide, the clients will be able to visit a living archaeological excavation right under the feet of Spain's best preserved Roman City.
