It has an extensive, important archaeological collection which dates from the Palaeolithic to the Modern Age, and includes Iberian remains from the Alarcos hill site, Roman mosaics from Alcázar de San Juan and the door from the old Ciudad Real synagogue. The Natural Sciences section has fossil remains that are about three million years old, found in the paleontological excavation in a volcanic area such as the Las Higueruelas site.
The museum's collection is part of the collective catalogue of the Digital Network of Spanish Museum Collections (CERES), conceived as a space for dissemination which enables visitors to browse the various museum collections using the identifying features of each item (author, type of object, iconography, etc.).
