National Archaeological Museum of Lomellina

The National Archaeological Museum of Lomellina occupies four dedicated exhibition rooms within the Sforzesco Castle, presenting artifacts in chronological sequence from prehistoric to medieval times.

The museum, established in 1998 in a fifteenth-century stable building, underwent expansions in 2006 and 2018 to accommodate increasing archaeological discoveries from the Lomellina region.

The exhibition halls display burial goods, metal utensils, glass vessels, and terracotta figurines that demonstrate the daily activities and customs of ancient Lomellina inhabitants.

Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday through Saturday between 9:00 AM and 1:30 PM, with guided tours available to understand the archaeological collections.

The museum houses a rare signed glass cup by artisan Aristeas, representing the only intact specimen among six known examples worldwide.
