About Moundville Archaeological Museum

The museum houses artifacts and displays exhibits on over 60 years of archaeological excavations and investigations about Moundville.
The Jones Archaeological Museum located in the park was opened on May 16, 1939, and was initially known as the "Mound State Monument."
The museum was originally designed with two wings dedicated to burials which was closed in 1989 and a central section with exhibits displaying artifacts recovered from the site. The previous burial wings were replaced with a theater and several exhibition halls.
