The current Archeological Museum of Seville traces its roots to the mid-19th Century, with the creation of a few private collections that today have been integrated into the present museum. However, it was not until a century later when the museum achieved independent existence. Upon separating from the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts, it would take up home in the present-day building, built by Aníbal González for the Fine Arts Pavilion of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It was ceeded in 1941 by the Seville Town Hall to the State, so the museum could permanently take up residence there. The Museum has three floors: in the bottom floor prehistoric remains from the province are on display to the public, arranged in chronological order, from the Lower Paleolithic in Room I to the Iberoturdetano Period in Room X. On the main floor, materials from the Roman era and following eras are displayed. These materials come from all over the province, and even from further, but the majority of them, above all those of greatest artistic quality, were found in the excavations done in the ancient city of Itálica, birthplace of the emperors Trajano and Adriano. The first floor is reserved for various museum services and for researchers. The Archeological Museum has become, thus, the center of conservation and difusion of the material testimonies that illustrate the process of Romanization of the Iberian Peninsula, and that help know more about life in this period.
