Very well kept museum with a collection of archeological finds from a lot of centuries BC to the Roman empire. The museum is not very big (you're able to visit it calmly in an hour or so), and has a cute gift shop with some interesting merch. The collection is very interesting and pieces look very well maintained. The museum holds very interesting events, classes and workshops. It also has a library, a children's area and a restaurant, located just to the side of the gift shop on the lower floor. The museum is accessible and has ramps and elevators for wheelchairs and people with disabilities circulation.

Good museum the personal collection of the German couple is quite nice it appeared to be the most notable part of the museum. It was rich and had a great mix of pottery styles both Greek and Etruscan as well as jewelry and personal household items (lucernae to amphorae etc.) There were also mosaics and statuary pieces. The main museum had a lot of other artifacts including rupestral markings and 1st and 2nd millennium BCE pottery and artifacts from the area. This was a nice treat to see as the region has a rich pre Roman history.

I was only able to spend around 1 hour here but it was a great experience for an amateur history enthusiast like myself. The museum had a concise but very impressive collection of ancient, primarily Roman, artefacts. The staff were clearly passionate and knowledgeable about their subject matter and very kind and welcoming.

A really nice local museum that goes largely unnoticed by locals and tourists. A real shame because they have a great local Celtic and Roman collection. Along with typical artifacts are some really fine pieces including Celtic torc's and a nice helmet.

Visita dia 8 de Dezembro, feriado, só 3 estrelas devido aos acontecimentos. Pontos Positivos: Espólio arqueológico de elevada importância; exposição bem conseguida; gratuito aos domingos e feriados. Pontos negativos: Várias crianças aos berros, sem controlo, pareciam estar no local não em visita, mas em alguma atividade, o que perturbou e muito a nossa visita; falta mais informação sobre o espólio para pessoas que não sejam da área. A exceção é a incrível coleção de uma doação de Bühler-Brockhaus, muito bem organizada e legendada. Para nós foi o melhor espaço do Museu. Não visitamos as ruínas por estarem encerradas ao público. Resumindo: aconselho sem dúvida a visita, se não encontrarem perturbação vai ser super interessante.

Very nice museum with 4 exhibitions rooms where you can see the archaeological findings from the area and find out more about the Roman settlement. The gentleman at the desk was very very kind. The mosaic is quite degraded unfortunately.
