National Museum, Locri, Archaeological museum in Locri, Italy.
The National Museum in Locri is an archaeological museum that houses findings from excavations in the region. The building has two levels, with the upper floor displaying smaller artifacts and the lower level presenting larger objects.
The museum opened in 1971 as Antiquarium di Locri and gained national museum status in 1998 due to the importance of its archaeological collection. This development reflects growing recognition of the region's ancient treasures.
The collection shows objects that reveal how residents lived daily, from household pottery to religious figures. These items tell you how people here thought, worked, and worshiped thousands of years ago.
The museum is located in the town of Locri and can be explored on foot, as most spaces are arranged across two connected levels. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time to see the collection, which is substantial.
The building incorporates Casino Macrì, a private structure from the 18th century that preserves original Roman-era structures within it. This blend allows visitors to experience history layered across different periods in one space.
