Archaeological Room<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It is the room that houses the most pieces in the museum, there are nearly a thousand of them and all of them come from very different origins and periods. Each of the display cases deals with a different theme. At the entrance there is the section of objects for domestic use, such as coffee grinders, irons, oil lamps or small bronze sculptures that were used to decorate the corners of houses. Next, the geology and paleontology section with fossils that are more than 540 million years old, where the heads of the modernist-style female sculptures that crowned the building of the old Casino Espanyol in Rub\u00ed for years stand out. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Foreign cultures are also represented in the room. One of the most spectacular is the magnificent collection of sculptures from Africa, such as ebony carvings, utensils for religious rituals, figures representing the family unit, sculptures of warriors and a mask from the Fang culture, from Gabon (Guinea) worn by the White Missionary Fathers. <\/p>

Japanese culture is also present with a set of ivory figurines perfectly crafted with minute details. The room is closed by sculptures and magnificent pieces from the pre-Columbian culture of Colombia, Peru and Costa Rica, over six hundred years old, and a collection of religious imagery and icons that recall the Christian faith of our grandparents’ homes. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
