Paolo Orsi Regional Archaeological Museum - Virtual Tour 360°

Paolo Orsi Regional Archaeological Museum is located in a new museum space, entrusted to the architect Franco Minissi who applied modern architectural criteria for museumisation.

The Museum was inaugurated in January 1988 at the Villa Landolina on two exhibition floors of 9,000 m2, of which initially only one of the floors was open to the public, and a basement of 3,000 m2, where an auditorium and offices are located.

The shape of the museum structure revolves around a central body used as a conference room in the basement and an exhibition hall on the ground floor. The lighting of the rooms is obtained by letting the sunlight filter directly from the roof and from the lateral spaces.

The layout was designed by the architect Franco Minissi. with the coordination of the archaeologist Giuseppe Voza.
