The Cadiz Museum is a museum located in the Spanish city of Cadiz, Spain. The museum was founded in 1970 from the merger of the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts with the Provincial Museum of Archeology. The museum has three floors: archeology on the ground floor, art on the first, puppets on the second. The museum initially collected the art that was confiscated from a monastery, among which were the paintings of Zurbarán taken from the Charterhouse of Jerez de la Frontera, some works by Murillo and Rubens. The collection grew over the century, thanks to the city's Academy of Fine Arts which practiced Romanticism and Neoclassicism. In addition to the 19th century pieces, the Cadiz Museum has received contemporary donations from the Junta de Andalucía as well as the archaeological section (particularly the numismatics section). Despite a number of prehistoric artifacts from southern Andalusia, due to local history, artifacts from the Middle Ages are lacking. The "Tía Norica" puppet set, used at the Cadiz Carnival, was acquired by the state.
