About the museum
The museum documents the fieldwork of more than thirty archaeological missions of the Sapienza Università di Roma, carried out in fifteen countries of the Near East, the Mediterranean and Africa over more than fifty years.
The collections comprise more than 4,000 finds. The objects on display, apart from copies, were acquired before 1962 with the authorisation of the countries of origin.
