Museu de Menorca

An island history museum housed in a former Franciscan monastery in Mahón, covering everything from prehistoric Talayotic culture to the British period.

The displays include Talayotic bronzes and pottery, Roman and Islamic artefacts, and 18th-century maps and paintings from the British and French periods. The monastery cloister is worth seeing in its own right. Admission is about €3. It is a good idea to visit before or after the prehistoric sites to get some background.
