Museo nazionale Sanna

The Museo nazionale Sanna is an ethnographic and archaeological museum in Sassari with exhibits from different periods of Sardinian history. The collection spans from prehistoric times to the medieval era and presents everyday objects, religious items, and artworks across several exhibition spaces.

The museum was founded in 1931 to preserve Sardinian heritage and archaeological discoveries. Over time it expanded and became an important place for understanding the island's long history.

The collection displays religious garments, furniture, and silver objects from different periods of Sardinian life. These items show how people on the island lived and what mattered to them in daily life and faith.

The museum is located in the city center and is open several days per week, giving visitors multiple opportunities to visit. The exhibitions are spread across multiple floors, so plan to spend enough time exploring all the displays.

The museum houses craftwork from the Nuraghe civilization, an ancient Sardinian culture with distinctive building traditions. These ancient objects offer insights into a society that existed long before the better-known Mediterranean cultures.
