The MARQ, Awarded the Emporia-2024 Prize for the 'Dinastías' Exhibition

The exhibition 'Dinastías. Los primeros reinos de la Europa Prehistórica,' at the Archaeological Museum of Alicante (MARQ), has been recognized with the prestigious EMPORIA Selection 2024 award in the category of best non-itinerant ephemeral exhibition setup. The distinction was awarded at a gala held in Toledo, consolidating MARQ's prestige in the field of museography and ephemeral architecture.

The Deputy of Culture, Juan de Dios Navarro, emphasized the importance of this recognition: "This award highlights the scientific and exhibition work behind each MARQ exhibit. It is a testament to the high level of quality and demand of the teams that make it up."

The EMPORIA awards highlight creativity and technical excellence in the field of ephemeral architecture, with a call that brings together the best exhibition design projects of the years 2023 and 2024. In this 12th edition, the 'Dinastías' exhibition stood out for its meticulous museography and its ability to transport visitors to Bronze Age Europe through highly valuable archaeological pieces.

Curated by archaeologist Juan Antonio López Padilla, the exhibition was open to the public from March to October 2024, offering a unique journey through the continent's first prehistoric kingdoms. The award was collected by the curator himself along with the director of MARQ, Manuel Olcina, the manager of the CV MARQ Foundation, José Alberto Cortés, and the architect responsible for the exhibition design, Ángel Rocamora.

This award reinforces MARQ's trajectory as a leader in museum innovation and heritage dissemination, consolidating its prestige on the national and international stage.
