Museu de Prehistòria de València
Museu de Prehistòria de València submitted by TimPrevett : Some of many many displays of prehistoric artefacts on display at the Museum of Prehistory of Valencia. (Vote or comment on this photo)
(Museum of Prehistoric Valencia). Apart from some Roman and Visigoth stuff on the top floor, it's all prehistory, over two floors. The most extensive prehistory museum I have seen in its scope - how refreshing not to have it popped in a corner with a token display.
