Museo dei Grandi Fiumi, Archaeological museum in Rovigo, Italy.
The Museo dei Grandi Fiumi occupies a former monastery building and displays artifacts spanning five time periods from the Bronze Age through the Renaissance. Collections are arranged with modern exhibition methods that clearly document how civilizations developed along the river regions.
The museum was founded in 1978 as a civic museum dedicated to Polesine cultures and underwent significant transformation over time. Various sections opened sequentially between 2001 and 2014, creating the current exhibition structure.
The name refers to the two major rivers, the Po and Adige, that shaped the region's history since ancient times. Visitors can observe how these waterways influenced daily life through the objects displayed from ancient settlements in the surrounding area.
The museum operates with different hours depending on the season, typically open more days in summer and more limited hours in winter. Check current opening times before your visit, as schedules can change with the seasons.
The Bronze Age section features detailed reconstructions of ancient homes and craft workshops showing how people lived and worked in those times. These recreated environments help visitors imagine daily routines in settlements thousands of years ago.
