Museum of Sannio, History and archaeology museum in Benevento, Italy.
The Museum of Sannio occupies a former monastery complex of Santa Sofia, containing extensive collections of regional artifacts across multiple exhibition spaces.
The museum, established in 1873 at Rocca dei Rettori, moved to its current location in 1928 when the provincial administration acquired the Church of Santa Sofia.
The collection includes 50,000 exhibits from Samnite, Roman, and Lombard periods, with significant artifacts from the temple of Isis built by Emperor Domitian.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with access to multiple sites through a single integrated ticket.
The museum contains an extensive Lombard collection reflecting Benevento's position as the capital of Langobardia Minor during the medieval period.
