This museum shows archaeological finds from the Abruzzi mountains. It's not very big (approx. 10 rooms), but has one outstanding item on show: the Capestrano Warrior. This statue of a warrior chief from the Bronze Age (6th century B.C.) is used as symbol of the Abruzzi region nowadays. The Capestrano Warrior is quite unique, as there are only a few life-sized sculptures from native Italian tribes. It probably served as a some sort of grave marker.
The rest of the museum is interesting as well, look out for the huge Hercules in the central hallway, for example.
Opening hours: 9 - 20 (closed Monday)
