The museum was founded in 1907 and contains artefacts divided into the following sections: prehistoric, Phoenician, Roman, Punic and Islamic. MAEF (Museu Arqueologic d'Eivissa i Formentera) preserves, researches and exhibits historical material from the Islands of Ibiza and Formentera.

It's housed in a historical building where the government of the island met from the 13th to the 18th century. It was divided into three groups: bourgeoisie, merchants and farmers until the current council was set up in 1717.
