This municipal museum is situated in the historic building known as the Palace of the Baron of Benifayó or Casa de la Rusa. Inside, there are various rooms dedicated to different themes: Archaeology: This section features a display of the municipality’s main archaeological finds, both on land (La Raya) and underwater (Punta de Algas, San Ferreol, La Barra and El Mojón), as well as a selection of fossils and artefacts from prehistoric cultures in the south-east. Alongside these artefacts, there are a series of informative and engaging explanatory panels and models, which provide visitors with key details about the exhibits. Ethnography: This section is dedicated, on the one hand, to the bourgeoisie who settled in San Pedro del Pinatar in the late 19th century, building their summer residences and participating in the social life of the time, and, on the other hand, to the ordinary people who, through their work and effort, managed to build up the municipality and bring it to its current level. Some of the main trades that drove the economy at the time are represented: fishing, agriculture, salt curing and the saltworks. Collection of antique toys: Visitors can view over 300 antique toys, loaned or donated by contributors. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the history of toys, from the earliest slingshots, marbles and spinning tops to the first computer video games. Collection of vintage film equipment: Vintage projectors, cameras and equipment typically found in projection rooms. Temporary exhibition gallery: A variety of exhibitions on different themes are held throughout the year (see Facebook).

MUSEUM CIVIL WAR REFUGE and Panoramic Lift

Museums

Cartagena

The Civil War Air Raid Shelter Museum is a place to remember and learn about the recent history of Cartagena, which was a strategic point and prime bombing target in the Civil War. As you pass along some of the galleries and hear the testimonies of those who lived during the conflict you can appreciate how the struggle changed their lives as well as how the passive and active defence of the city was organized. The audio-visual with the actual images and sounds of the war brings home the scale and severity of the war as you experience it inside an actual shelter. The Panoramic Lift will take you in a comfortable and fast way up to the highest point of the Concepción Hill. Its 45 meters save the existing height between Gisbert Street and the top of the hill where the Torres Park and the Concepción Castle await you with the best views of the city and its bay. Being located on the slopes of the hill where the galleries of the old shelters are located, the base of the Elevator serves as an entrance to the Museum-Refuge of the Civil War.

Museum of Water and Light

Visitor centers

Blanca

This centre is located on the banks of the Segura river, taking advantage of the old hydroelectric factory, the building that for 25 years has been the driving force behind the development of the town of Blanca, known as "La fábrica de la luz" (The factory of light). Its aim is to show the historical process to get the most out of water. The hydraulic inventions shown in this centre are related to the geography of Blanca. The idea of this exhibition space is to show visitors the historical origins of these inventions, to motivate them to reflect on the different uses of water and how they can vary in different cultures. A very significant space in this centre is occupied by a recreation of the Segura river in Blanca, and all the possible uses of water in it: the waterwheels, the public washing place, the electric lifts for irrigation or consumption and this "Light Factory".
