Fachada y Patio interior.
Aware of the scientific and artistic projection of Mr. Joan Cabre (1882-1947), this Museum has been created with the intention of commemorating and disseminating the figure of this illustrious archaeologist.
The Museum is divided into several museographic sections, each devoted to each of the essential activities that marked its restless character.
A persistent scholar of the prehistoric painted manifestations, I elaborate magnificent reproductions, in black and white or in color, which surpass in all the synthetic simplicity of simple tracings. The reproductions of the paintings of the Cova de la Saltadora and the Cova del Civil (Castellon), of the Levantine naturalist style, and of the Pena Escrita (Ciudad Real), of a schematic nature, are shown in this section.
The photograph related to Joan Cabre groups three different aspects: photographs executed by Cabre himself, some of them with an important ethnographic content; photographs in which Cabre appears, always in archaeological excavations and accompanied by illustrious colleagues already deceased (Bruil, Obermaier, Alcalde del Rio, Pericot, Marques de Cerralbo, etc.), and a sample of the cameras and photographic equipment used by his own I will go.
In this section part of the private collection of Joan Cabré is exposed. From the tools and bifaces of the Lower Paleolithic, to the Visigothic bronze elements, the Neolithic objects of the Bronze and Iron Ages, the Iberians and the Romans follow one another. The Iberian ex-votos deserve special mention, probably coming from the Collado de los Jardines (Jaen), a complete helmet in iron and an exceptional sword of antennas.
The canvases that are exhibited are all due to his authorship, except for the portrait made by his friend F.M. Bagues.
Some of the works are copies of those of renowned artists; others, however, are the fruit of their total creation.
Both these paintings and the objects that make up the preceding Sections can be shown to the public by virtue of the selfless donation made by the children and heirs of Joan Cabre.
Taking advantage of the existence of the original corral of the headquarters of the Museum, Section V has been designed to house various elements related to the original function of the place.
Thanks to the generosity of the people of Calaceite, agricultural implements and cavalry harnesses are exhibited that illustrate ways of life that, today, have become history and that here they try not to die completely.
Some photographs kindly given by the Association of Friends of Calaceite, like others in the museum, also complement the ethnographic nature of the Section.
