Museo Civico Archeologico

Most of the convent wing is devoted to the Archaeological Museum which houses historical evidence covering a time span beginning in prehistoric times through proto history, Roman times, the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages. They testify to uninterrupted settlement in Monterubbiano’s territory. The museum was conceived to provide accessible culture. All kinds of users can enjoy the exhibits. Particular attention has been paid to sight- impaired visitors for whom audio guides, Braille information cards and copies of artefacts for tactile exploration are provided. The artefact exhibit is divided into four halls chronologically; furthermore the floor of the corridor is a walkable model of the Aso River valley, from its source to its mouth, which, thanks to the help of box lighting, highlights the archaeological findings that have been made in the area.
