16 May 2025 — 7 Jan 2026 at Museo Arqueológico Municipal de Cartagena

Qart Hadasht — the Phoenician name for "New City" and the origin of the modern name Cartagena — serves as the starting point for this ambitious temporary exhibition running through 2025–2026.
The show examines the profound influence of Carthage on the Iberian Peninsula, shedding light on the political, military, commercial, and cultural footprint left by this great North African power during its expansion into the western Mediterranean. Visitors are invited to explore the archaeology, art, and material culture that testify to a fascinating chapter of pre-Roman Iberian history.
