Museo Archeologico di Varallo Pombia

About the museum

The museum was founded in 1977 on the initiative of the historical-archaeological section of the E.M.A.V., with the support of the Soprintendenza alle Antichità di Torino (Turin heritage authority for antiquities) and the local administration, and it gathered finds from research carried out in the area. It was originally housed in the Chioso building and was later moved to the new town hall, Villa Soranzo.
