Museum devoted to the characteristics, history and evolution of the Palmeral of Elche, designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000. It is located within the Palmeral itself, in a traditional 19th-century house in the Huerto de San Plácido, and was opened in 1997 and renovated in 2006. Through videos, panels, exhibits and sounds, it covers the origins, development, culture and uses of this ecosystem. The visit to the outdoor garden, where traditional crops and uses of the date palm can be seen, is free, while access to the interior of the house requires a paid ticket.
