The Museo nazionale della Valcamonica is an archaeological museum located in the town of Cividate Camuno (Province of Brescia), which has a collection of Roman-period finds from various excavations which took place mostly in the 17th century in Val Camonica.
Organization of the Collection
The museum is divided into four sections:
- Territory - with finds from the Roman conquest in 16 BC
- City - with a reconstruction of ancient Civitas Camunnorum
- Religion - including a statue of Minerva, one of three copies in existence and perhaps the best one, of the Athena Hygieia of Athens (original of the 5th century BC)
- Necropolis - with finds recovered from various sites in Val Camonica
The objects on display mostly come from Cividate Camuno, but there are also items from the Sanctuary of Minerva in Breno.
