The core is characterized by material found in the excavations operated in the surroundings of Perugia, where there are many necropolis.<\/p>\nThe National Archaeological Museum of Umbria is located in Perugia, in Giordano Bruno Square, and is housed within the premises of the old convent of San Domenico.<\/p>\n
The oldest part is the church of San Domenico Vecchio, to which later were joined convent buildings.<\/p>\n
The first ‘museum’ presence in town (exactly at the Palazzo dei Priori) can be traced back to 1790, when Francesco Filippo Friggeri, Perugian nobleman, donated his entire collection.<\/p>\n
Later it was the work of the archaeologist Giovanni Battista Vermiglioli and his successors that contributed profoundly to the growth of the Museum.<\/p>\n
It was in 1948 that the Civic Museums were moved to the current location.<\/p>\n
Until 1958 the direction was entrusted to Umberto Calzoni, who further enriched the collection already expanded considerably with the prehistoric and proto-historic material derived from the work of Giuseppe Bellucci at the beginning of the century.<\/p>\n
In 1960 the State took over the direction of the Museum.<\/p>\n
The museum is divided into different rooms depending on the various thematic criteria, with texts and images that help the visitor in his path.<\/p>\n
Among the major exhibitions, must be mentioned without a doubt the Etruscan-Roman and prehistoric collections formed from the nineteenth century.<\/p>\n
The core is characterized by material found in the excavations operated in the surroundings of Perugia, where there are many necropolis.<\/p>\n
In particular, should be noted the sarcophagus of Sperandio and the exceptional complex of archaic bronzes from Castel San Mariano.<\/p>\n
If you move to the upper floor, you can admire the pre-protohistoric materials of different areas of central Italy.<\/p>\n
Many of these discoveries belong to the Bellucci collection.<\/p>\n
If you instead go to the basement, you can enjoy the reconstruction of Cutu tomb, an underground tomb that houses a sarcophagus and 52 funerary urns, belonged to the men of “Cai Cutu” family.<\/p>\n
Finally the Bronzes Room, which must be absolutely visited carefully.<\/p>\n
In addition to the material of the splendid collections we were talking about previously, or rather those of Bellucci and Calzoni, recently the Room has been enriched by a new section.<\/p>\n
This follows the latest museological criteria and in particular shows the dynamic development of Umbrian and Etruscan, civilizations located to the left and to the right of the river Tiber.<\/p>\n
