The Royal Family Announces King Felipe's Most Exciting News: Little Time Left
King Felipe VI will inaugurate the new room on the Tartessians at the Archaeological Museum of Badajoz next May 8
The Royal Family has announced exciting news from King Felipe regarding the cultural and scientific field. There is little time left for an event of great relevance: the monarch will inaugurate the new interactive room dedicated to the fascinating civilization of the Tartessians at the Provincial Archaeological Museum of Badajoz. The event will take place on May 8th and represents the Crown's commitment to the dissemination of knowledge and the enhancement of historical and archaeological heritage.
This event not only reinforces the Royal Family's commitment to culture and history but also connects the king with a land rich in heritage, tradition, and modernity. Why is this room considered one of the most important in the country, and what does its opening mean for the cultural projection of the region?

Tartessians in Badajoz: The Forgotten Civilization Revived Thanks to the Royal Family
The creation of this new room marks a milestone for the Archaeological Museum of Badajoz and a direct nod to a civilization as mysterious as it is fascinating: the Tartessians. It is a people who inhabited the southwestern peninsula between the 12th and 5th centuries BC, whose cultural footprint has been key to understanding the protohistory of the Iberian Peninsula.
This space replaces the previous Protohistory room and part of the Physical Media room and is designed to immerse the visitor in a completely immersive visual, auditory, and tactile experience. The floor, walls, and ceiling will be equipped with audiovisual projections and educational resources designed for audiences of all ages.

The Tartessian culture has gained renewed prominence in recent years, especially in Extremadura, where some recent findings have revolutionized the historical narrative. In this line, the new room will include unique pieces such as the faces of Turuñuelo or the jug from La Zarza de Cancho Roano. The three ivories from Medellín and the Treasure of La Martela from Segura de León will also be present.
The Royal Family Announces That Felipe VI Will Inaugurate a Room at the Archaeological Museum of Badajoz
The inauguration by King Felipe is not coincidental. It is one of the most ambitious museum projects in recent years, with strong institutional support and academic relevance.
The presence of the king symbolizes the Royal Household's support for the decentralization of culture and the strengthening of regional identity. This act, therefore, transcends the symbolic and becomes a declaration of intent about the model of the country that the monarchical institution supports.

However, this is not the first time that King Felipe VI shows his direct involvement with the country's historical and cultural heritage. In recent years, he has participated in exhibition openings, historical commemorations, and high-level scientific activities. His role as head of state also involves the defense of roots and cultural identity, something evident in this type of act.
Felipe VI Will Also Visit the Talent Tour of the Princess of Girona Awards
Additionally, King Felipe VI's visit to Badajoz is not limited to the inauguration of the new museum space. The monarch will also participate that day in an event of the Talent Tour of the Princess of Girona Foundation, which makes a stop in the city. Specifically, he will be present at the Manuel Rojas Conference Center, where the new awardee in the field of research will be announced.
The five finalists of this edition are Noelia Ferruz, Antoni Forner, Daniel García, Rafel Luque, and Cristina Mayor-Ruiz. The king's presence at this event represents recognition of the research work of young Spaniards and consolidates the Foundation's role as a promoter of emerging talent.

It is undeniable that the inauguration of the Tartessian room by King Felipe VI reflects the Royal Family's commitment to culture, history, and young talent. Through an innovative and accessible proposal, the Badajoz museum positions itself as a national reference. Will this be the definitive boost for the Tartessian legacy to occupy the place it deserves in Spain's history?
