Nel cuore di Trieste, il Museo racconta storie millenarie: dall’Egitto dei faraoni ai mondi greci e precolombiani, passando per l’Antica Roma. Un viaggio nel tempo che continua all’aperto, nell’Orto Lapidario.
Founded in the 19th century to collect the antiquities of the region, the Museum was built around Winckelmann’s cenotaph (1833). Donations and new installations made it, in 2018, a permanent tribute to the renowned historian.
