Vigevano (PV)
included
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale della Lomellina (National Archaeological Museum of Lomellina) is a state-owned institution intended for public use. Inaugurated in 1998 and enlarged in 2006, it collects, within some very evocative spaces of the Castello Sforzesco in Vigevano, the archaeological evidence from excavations or occasional finds in the Lomellina territory, with the aim of disseminating knowledge and favouring its use by a vast public visiting the city and its monuments.

The Museum's rooms house sections from different periods, from the Celtic Age to the early Middle Ages. The 15th-century stable, the Museum's first room, is dedicated to the Late Celtic and Roman necropolises, which constitute the most significant archaeological documentation of the area.

Within the grave goods, in addition to earthenware vessels and metal tools and ornaments, of particular note are the glassware, valuable for the variety and beauty of its forms, and the coroplast, which, although less refined, allows interesting observations on funerary ritual

Two other rooms are dedicated to the Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages and to the territory of Vigevano from Prehistory to the Roman Age, respectively. The last room is reserved for rotating exhibitions. The large hall adjacent to the stables, destined in the future to house the prehistoric and protohistoric section, is currently used for temporary exhibitions, conferences and educational activities.
