Museo archeologico nazionale di Verona

The Museo archeologico nazionale di Verona occupies a former prison building and displays Roman finds from various periods of the city's past. The collections include sculptures, worked stone, and objects from everyday life in ancient times.

The building was once a prison and was later converted into an archaeological museum to preserve findings from Roman times. This transformation shows how historical structures in the city have been repurposed for new uses.

The collection reveals how people lived and worked in the region through household items, tools, and jewelry from Roman times. These objects tell stories about crafts and trade that shaped daily life in the ancient city.

The museum is located in the city center and is easily reached on foot, with clear signage to the entrances. The collections are well organized so you can walk through the displays without specialized knowledge.

The inscriptions in the collection show names, dates, and small messages that people left behind almost 2000 years ago. These personal traces offer a direct glimpse into individual lives and thoughts of ancient residents.
