Museo archeologico al teatro romano
Museo archeologico al teatro romano, Archaeological museum in Verona, Italy.
The Museo archeologico al teatro romano occupies a former monastery situated on a hill above the Roman theater, with collections of ancient artifacts displayed across several exhibition rooms. The building integrates the architectural features of the earlier religious complex with modern display functions.
The museum opened in 1924 within the former Jesuate monastery of Saint Jerome, converting religious spaces into archaeological exhibition areas. This conversion reflected growing interest in the city's Roman past.
The collection displays Roman mosaics from the Negrar villa, bronze figurines, and marble sculptures found across the Verona region. These objects reveal the artistic tastes and craftsmanship of ancient inhabitants who lived here.
The museum and theater are accessible on most days, with a single entrance ticket providing access to both locations. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes, as the stairs leading to the theater are steep and the hillside can be challenging to navigate.
The museum's refectory houses a female marble figure, possibly a Roman copy of Phidias's Aphrodite, surrounded by frescoes. This combination of ancient sculpture and Renaissance painting creates an unusual artistic context.
