Archaeological Museum of Asturias

C. San Vicente 3, Oviedo, Principality of Astures

Closed today: open Wednesday at 09:30

The Archaeological Museum of Asturias is a museum located in the city of Oviedo, more precisely in the ancient cloister of the convent of San Vicente, a national monument since 1934. The works for the construction of the present cloister of the convent began in 1530 with the supervision of Juan de Badajoz el Mozo. Upon his death, his nephew Juan de Cerecedo el Mozo completed the upper floor. In the museum many religious finds are visible, most of which were put into circulation starting from 1837 with the confiscation of ecclesiastical assets. The museum also received donations from several of its members and from collectors and scholars of the time interested in the Roman past or ancient coins. There is also a section dedicated to prehistory in the Asturias region. The museum's collection has therefore expanded both thanks to the results of archaeological interventions in Asturias and thanks to donations from private collections such as those of the Count de la Vega del Sella, the Marquis de la Rodriga and Aurelio de Llano y Roza de Ampudia , the heirs of Soto Cortés, the numismatic collection of Pedro Hurlé Mansó and the collection of weapons and coins of the heirs of Tomás Bataller. Furthermore, starting from the 90s, the birth of managerial archeology has led to the entry of a large quantity of materials from all eras, especially the Middle Ages.
