The Iberian Museum, situated in the city of Jaén, Spain, is home to an impressive collection of Iberian art. This collection primarily consists of pieces from the existing collection at the Jaén Museum and other funds, as well as new archaeological finds.

The Iberian Museum opened its doors to the public on December 11, 2017. The opening was marked by the temporary exhibition titled "The Lady, the Prince, the Hero and the Goddess".
