Ancient Age
Museo archeologico nazionale di Tuscania
Tuscania (VT)
Il Museo archeologico nazionale di Tuscania è allestito all’interno della suggestiva cornice dell’ex convento francescano di Santa Maria del Riposo. Il complesso conventuale, fondato nel 1247, si presenta nelle eleganti forme rinascimentali dovute ai rifacimenti avvenuti nel XV e XVI secolo, e presenta un chiostro centrale con colonnato di archi a tutto sesto, sostenuti da capitelli riccamente decorati. Il complesso monumentale fu sede conventuale sino al 1875, nel 1970 fu destinato dal Comune di Tuscania a sede del Museo archeologico.
In 1988 a first section of the Museum opened on the ground floor, while in 1997 and 2007 the two exhibition wings on the upper floor were set up. Archaeological finds from the area are on display, alongside the history of the Campanari family, inextricably linked to the history of excavations of the territory and the "fortune" of Etruscology in the nineteenth century.
