National Museum of Roman Art

The National Museum of Roman Art is a museum of archaeology in Mérida, Spain. It is dedicated to Roman art and displays considerable material from the archaeological ensemble of Mérida (the Roman colony of Augusta Emerita), one of Spain's largest and most extensive archaeological sites, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.

Rafael Moneo planned and developed the exquisite architecture of the National Museum of Roman Art in Merida, which first opened to the public in 1986. The museum provides visitors with a detailed understanding of the Roman civilisation and teaches how the Roman civilization was one of the most important eras in Merida's history, from its contribution to the construction of the Mitreo Roman House to the Merida Roman Theatre. Ceramics, glassware, paintings, coins, sculptures, and even mosaics from the Roman civilisation are on exhibit.

Location: Calle de Jose Ramon Melida, Merida, Badajoz, Spain
