MUPRE – MUSEO NAZIONALE DELLA PREISTORIA DELLA VALLE CAMONICA

Capo di Ponte (BS)
AM Tessera Lombardiaincluded
Housed in the historic setting of Villa Agostani, in the heart of Capo di Ponte, the National Museum of Prehistory complements the heritage of rock engravings with an exhibition of archaeological finds. In this dialogue between signs and objects, the museum recomposes the profound identity of the Valle Camonica in a unique and inseparable narrative.
Museo nazionale della preistoria della Valle Camonica

Famous worldwide for the extraordinary cycle of rock engravings - first Italian site to enter the UNESCO World Heritage in 1979 - the Camonica Valley reveals a new face today. If the prehistoric iconographic universe is now known to the general public, less well known are the details of the daily life, which have emerged over the last 30 years thanks to archaeological research and excavations.

Villages, workshops, sanctuaries and necropolises finally give voice to the communities that, from the Iron Age onwards, will be called Camunni. In this context, the National Museum of Prehistory a Villa Agostani becomes the missing link: here, the exhibition of finds dialogues with the engraved rocks, recomposing in a single synthesis the’millennial identity of the Valley.
