The Numantine Museum of Soria located in Soria, Spain, focuses on the prehistory and history of the province of Soria through art and archaeology. The name chosen for the museum, which means pertaining to Numantia, reflects the historical importance of Spain's most famous hill fort, which is a few kilometres from Soria.
The museum is the centre of a network of smaller museums in the province, such as the Museo Paleontológico de Ambrona.
The museum's displays contain much material from Numantia, but say relatively little about its siege by the Romans, which was a significant event in Spanish history. The siege is commemorated at the site itself. The museum also displays material relating to other Iron Age settlements in the province, notably Tiermes and Uxama, complementing smaller on-site museums.
