The visit to the museum starts with display case containing the Roman coin collection of Lluc, which includes over 300 coins from different eras of the Roman occupation.

At the entrance to the Archaeology Collection there is a tribute to Cristóbal Veny, Missionary of the Sacred Hearts and retired curator of the Museum of Lluc, listing the digs directed by him, including the Wreckage of the Sec and the prehistoric caves around Lluc, especially Sa Cometa dels Morts. From this particular cave we can see on display many funerary artefacts, including one of the wooden coffins found there. There is a second one in the Museum of Archaeology in Madrid.

There are 8 display cases in this room. The first six are dedicated to the pre-Talayotic and Talayotic cultures in Mallorca. Of the other two, the first contains pieces form the collection of Antonio Mulet from the Punic- Ebusitanian culture; and the Furió collection of Talayotic, Greek and Roman pieces including plates, candlesticks and funerary artefacts. The final display case contains the Greek ceramics found at the wreck of the Sec, and nails from the ship.

There is also a display of Roman and Punic amphorae from the Roman ship wrecked off the coast of Cabrera. Also on display are the lead ingots which were the cargo of this ship, on which you can clearly see the identification marks of the different lead mines.

Finally, a columbarium recreates the layout of niches and type of urns typically used in a Roman burial.
