In the old prison in Badajoz, this museum houses a collection of contemporary Spanish, Portuguese and Ibero-American art.

This museum is located in one of the oldest and most representative buildings in Badajoz, where several thousands of archaeological objects of great historical relevance are kept.

The Fine Arts Museum houses works by regional artists, and also by national artists, such as Goya and Picasso.
