The museum tells the history of the rock from its creation during the Jurassic era, through its periods of rule by the Muslims, then the Spanish (briefly) then by the Muslims again (briefly) then by the Spanish again, and then since 1704 by the British. The museum is built above the remains of a 14th Century Moorish bath house. There is an eclectic selection of items on exhibition from the remains of Neanderthals found in the caves of the rock to artefacts from Japan purchased by prominent Gibraltans and donated to the museum when it was founded in the 1930s. A large 19th Century model of the rock dominates the upper floor of the museum.
