It officially opened in 1972 by initiative of a group of citizens as a result of a great discovery in the area, where they found the star piece of the museum, ‘The Efeb’, a 1.54 metre high bronze sculpture of a boy that dates back to the first century. This figure still preserves all its parts and is in very good condition.
The museum also displays some pieces from a Roman villa in Antequera, where a superb group of mosaics was discovered in 1998.
