The Museum has its headquarters in the former house of the Pasqual Family – a large stately home consolidated from various remodellings between the 15th and 18th centuries. Restored between 1997 and 1999, this house conserves, a large part of its original architectural structure, one of the windows of the 16th century and the portal of rectangular stones emblazoned (17th century) in the main entrance.
The permanent exhibition of the museum offers an interesting tour through the different stages of the history of Oliva and its region. In their showcases, pieces of life and production of the cultures that inhabited these lands during the prehistory, the Iberian culture, the Roman era and the Middle Age, represented by the long Islamic period and the Christian era after the conquest of 1240.
The itinerary of the visit also includes the monographic room dedicated to el Palau Comtal d’Oliva (16th century) – residence of the Centelles and Riu Sech, lords of the town- where in addition to the miniature of this monument, it also exhibits a large part of the marble columns and keystones from this building and the exceptional figure of el Guerrer del Palau (the Warrior of the Palace) that decorated the facade of one of the doors of access to the Arms Hall.
The walk through the permanent exhibition ends in the room that brings together a select representation of pieces dating from the 18th century, among which the ceramic pavement of Casa del Marxucal and the marble sculpture of el jove veremador (young harvester) stand out.
