Archaeological Museum of Asturias

The Archaeological Museum of Asturias is housed in the 16th century Benedictine monastery of Saint Vicente in Oviedo, Asturias. Its funds include collections of the Iron Age, the Roman period, and of Romanesque and Gothic times. The museum also includes sections of Asturian Ethnography, Heraldry, Medieval and Modern Epigraphy, Spanish Numismatics, a European Medal Section, and Armor.

The facilities are slated to be enlarged soon by the construction of an annex.

The Museum falls under the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture but is managed by the Council of Culture of the Government of the Principality of Asturias.
