The name of the museum, which means "pertaining to Numantia," reflects the historical importance of Spain's most famous hill fort, located just a few kilometers from Soria.

[1] The museum building was designed by Manuel Aníbal Álvarez and funded by Ramón Benito Aceña.

It was constructed on land donated by the local council and inaugurated on 18 September 1919 by King Alfonso XIII.

From the Celtiberian period, the collection includes pottery, brooches, pectorals, weapons, and tools from the fields of Numancia, Uxama, Tiermes, and other sites in the province.

The route concludes with the Middle Ages, represented by preserved architectural ruins, pottery, and coins.

The Bell Beaker culture from the Chalcolithic[2] and the Bronze Age are also represented by pieces from the Covelda deposit and the Villar del Alba menhir.

[4] The Celtibérica exhibition is also organized chronologically and divided into three periods: early, middle, and late, with numerous pieces from each.
