Pigorini National Museum of Prehistory and Ethnography

The museum occupies three floors and houses extensive collections of prehistoric artifacts and ethnographic objects from various cultures around the world.

Luigi Pigorini established this institution in 1876, building upon the foundation of the Museum Kircherianum that existed since 1650.

The museum maintains two main sections dedicated to prehistoric archaeology and ethnography, featuring collections from Italian excavations and global cultural artifacts.

Located at Piazza Guglielmo Marconi 14, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM with admission fees ranging from free to 10 euros.

The museum preserves the Praeneste fibula, which contains the earliest known Latin language inscription, dating back to the 7th century BCE.
