A visit of the archeological Museum of Aidone is a must for all those that take a tour to Morgantina, as it provides much needed context and important information im regards to the life and socio-cultural context of the ancient city of Morgsntins at the archeological park.

The museum is housed in the former monastery of the Cappucini which was build between 1611 and 1613 AD and was dedicated to Saint Francis.

The entrance is located in the former church that is now also used as a meeting room.

The museum hosts numerous artifacts from the Greko-Roman city of Morgantina that was founded around 1000 BC and from the Citatell that is the ancient site of a prehistoric town of the bronze age that dates back to around 2100 to 1800 BC.

The most famous artefact exhibited is the Dea di Morgantina. A female statue that probably depicts the goddess Demeter and was sculptured between 425 and 400 BC.

The statue was discovered by tombraiders and secretely removed and later sold to the Getty Museum and exhibited in the Getty Villa at Malibu in southern California.

It was not until 2011 that this important and wonderful artefact was returned to Aidone, where it is now exhibited close to the place where it was originally located.

The museum is usually open every day. However, on certain holidays it might be closed and it should be checked beforehand if it is indeed open.

There is a combination ticket that costs €14.00 and includes a visit to the Museum in Aidone, the archeological park of Morgantina and the Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina.

This is the package that I would recommend as it gives access to three very important and locally close venues that one does not want to miss.

Discounts are given to those between 18 and 25 years of age and teachers. For those younger than 18, the entrance is free.

One should plan at the very least one hour to examine the exhibitions and appreciate the significance of the displayed artefacts that reach back to the...

Durante la mia visita al Museo Regionale di Aidone, ho avuto l'opportunità di scoprire uno dei luoghi più affascinanti e ricchi di storia della Sicilia. Situato nel cuore del piccolo borgo di Aidone, il museo ospita reperti straordinari provenienti dal vicino sito archeologico di Morgantina, offrendo un'esperienza culturale unica.

Appena entrato, sono stato accolto da un'atmosfera tranquilla e ben organizzata. Le sale del museo, disposte con cura, guidano il visitatore attraverso secoli di storia, con esposizioni che vanno dal periodo greco a quello romano. Uno dei pezzi più iconici è sicuramente la Dea di Morgantina, una straordinaria statua in marmo di probabile origine ellenistica, il cui ritorno in Sicilia dopo anni di controversie internazionali è motivo di grande orgoglio per la comunità locale. Vederla dal vivo è stato emozionante: la sua imponenza e i dettagli scolpiti ti lasciano senza parole.

Altri reperti di grande interesse includono i preziosi argenti di Morgantina e una vasta collezione di ceramiche, monete e utensili che raccontano la vita quotidiana degli antichi abitanti della zona. Ogni pezzo è accompagnato da descrizioni dettagliate che aiutano a comprendere il contesto storico e culturale.

Il personale del museo si è dimostrato estremamente gentile e disponibile, pronto a rispondere a qualsiasi domanda e a fornire informazioni aggiuntive. Inoltre, ho apprezzato l’attenzione alla conservazione e la pulizia degli spazi espositivi.

Consiglio di visitare il museo con calma, prendendosi il tempo per osservare ogni dettaglio e magari combinando l’esperienza con una visita al Parco Archeologico di Morgantina. È un viaggio indietro nel tempo che permette di apprezzare la ricchezza culturale di questa terra.

In sintesi, il Museo Regionale di Aidone è una tappa imperdibile per chi ama l’archeologia e la storia antica. La mia visita è stata coinvolgente ed educativa, lasciandomi con un profondo senso di meraviglia e rispetto per il...

Morgantina hoard is in this museum now. Not in New York. Do not miss this small town and it’s museums near Piazza Armerina. Well displayed, surprisingly rich collection of Greek artefacts from nearby Morgantina. Many explanations in English as well as Italian. Peacefully sited up a hill with fine views. The museum was once a convent. It is possible to park nearby (at present) but the roads are narrow. We chose to park lower in town and walk up well- signposted route. Pleasant staff. Clean loos. Cafés and restaurants nearby. Other museums in town also...

Some astounding pieces from the site of Morgantina, with fascinating information about the international collaboration that took place between archeologists and curators to identify and return pieces stolen and sold to collectors decades ago. The story of the head of Hades (nicknamed 'Bluebeard') is particularly interesting!

Qui , batte ancora forte il cuore della Sicilia . Al centro di un piccolo borgo, a 800 mt slm, un ex convento dei Cappuccini racconta tutta la ns storia di Siciliani figli della cultura Ellenica. Una sintesi di arte , cultura e racconti mitologici che hanno attraversato 26 secoli di storia. L’imponenza , la maestosità ed il fascino della “ Venere di Morgantina” sono l’emblema di questo mito. Una statua, scolpita sicuramente da un ex allievo Fidiano, che celebra il mito di Demetra. Affascina ancora oggi una bellezza magnetica che ti trasporta nel tempo attraverso i secoli e attraverso la sua storia . Assolutamente da vedere ! Una piccola piazza , davanti al museo , è adornata con un chioschetto che ti presenta i fantastici dolci siciliani. La fragranza di gelati , granite e marmellate di agrumi rendono veramente indimenticabile Aidone in una giornata di relax tra il mito e la storia.
