Museo de América

The Museo de América in Madrid houses a major collection of archaeological, ethnographic, and artistic objects from North and South America. With around 25,000 exhibits ranging from the Paleolithic era to the present day, it is considered, alongside the Berlin collections, the most important repository of pre-Columbian art outside the Americas. The museum was founded in 1941 using holdings from the National Archaeological Museum. Since 1961, it has been located on Avenida de los Reyes Católicos in the Ciudad Universitaria district. Here you can discover the cultural diversity and history of the Americas, and the museum draws thousands of visitors every year.
