Museum of Norman culture, Norman history museum in Ariano Irpino Norman Castle, Italy
The Museum of Norman Culture occupies several rooms within a medieval fortress, displaying over 200 authentic weapons from different historical periods.
The museum, which opened in 2009, features a large model recreation of the 1066 Battle of Hastings, marking Norman expansion across Europe.
The exhibition spaces present artifacts and displays that document Norman architectural innovations, military strategies, and daily life in medieval Southern Italy.
Located at Via Castello in Ariano Irpino, the museum requires advance booking for group visits and maintains specific opening hours throughout the week.
Four truncated cone towers connected by wall corridors contain exhibits that showcase Norman influence across three regions: Irpinia, Sannio, and Puglia.
