Museo archeologico nazionale dell'Umbria, Archaeological museum in Perugia, Italy.
The National Archaeological Museum of Umbria occupies a former monastery and displays finds from multiple periods, ranging from early times through the Roman era. The exhibition is divided into seven sections that document the evolution of cultures and settlements across this ancient landscape.
The museum was founded in 1948 after the building had served as a barracks under French rule for many years. Following World War II, it was transformed into a cultural space to make the region's archaeological treasures available to the public.
The museum displays a major collection of Etruscan objects that tell the story of this ancient culture in the region. Visitors can see how people lived thousands of years ago and what mattered to them in their daily lives.
The museum sits on Piazza Giordano Bruno and is open to visitors from Tuesday through Sunday, closed on Mondays. Digital payment options are available and the space is accessible to visitors with different needs.
A specialized collection of ancient amulets from the Bellucci collection reveals the beliefs and protective practices of earlier cultures. Alongside this, the museum also preserves rare coins that show how people in antiquity conducted trade and measured value.
