Museums in Basilicata

Built in 2003 within the former Bishop’s seminary, the National Archaeological Museum of Muro Lucano constitutes a single monumental complex with the Cathedral, the bishop’s palace, the curia and the nearby castle. An exhibition venue of a thousand square metres spreads over three levels and five themed sections on permanent display, and preserves centuries of local archaeology, with particular reference to the north-we- stern area where the Peuketiantes lived.
