The wide period between 1500 and 1932 is in the Modern and Contemporary Room that holds more than 300 pieces relative to the political, economic, social and cultural world of Alicante life at the moment. Homage pieces of Spanish kings - currencies that show the evolution of the Spanish Crown during the history - and numerous objects compose a global vision of the Power of the Crown (1500-1808) and the Constitutional Regimen (1808-1874).

The development registered at the end of the XIX century and begining of the XX century is presented in an audiovisual film and also in an exhibition of the cultural currents of this same period in Alicante, in which the Modernism is highlighted.

The nautical activity also has its space in the MARQ, specially in the Archaeological Subacuatic Room that proposes a journey for this activity from the Antiquity. The hypothetical reconstruction of a Roman craft robbed in a dike and the faithful reconstruction of a supposed collapsed ship in the V century avant Christ show the methodology of work of an subacuatic archaeological excavation.

A hypothetical excavation
In an attractive scenery that goes back in time 2.400 years, a hypothetical excavation is shown in an urban zone of Alicante. Also in the scenery, 14 phases of occupation of the cave are shown: from the Paleolithic one, Middle and Superior, going through the Neolithic, the Calcolithic and the Age of Brass, until the Iberian, Roman, Medieval and Modern times. This way, the MARQ not only shows remains and archaeological images, but also technics of work of the archaeology in action, becoming a modern museum of the XXI century.
