Inside a room provided with eighteenth-century pieces of furniture, there are nine display cases containing archaeological finds coming both from the excavations carried out in the region of Verona and from antique markets, collected over the centuries, by the Miniscalchi family.
The first display case collects a series of small bronzes depicting Hercules and attacking warriors, a typical expression of the Venetian artistic culture between the 5th and 4th century B.C. In addition to them, there are also a war iron mesh from the 5th century B.C., some iron domestic tools from the 2nd-1st century and a pair of fist rings with bronze points from the 1st-2nd century A.D.
The following display case contains a second type of small bronzes mostly related to cultural aspects depicting gods and pious offerers. Next to these statuettes, there is a ritual bronze pin coming from Cà dei Cauri with an engraved inscription of the Eastern Rhaetian group (5th century B.C.). The last two shelves of the display case contain a truncated conical situla in bronze foil (4th-3rd century B.C.), three flanged axes (6th-5th century B.C.), a pod-shaped bronze cup, an embossed bronze sacrificial knife of Ancient Venetian manufacture (7th-6th century B.C.) and ritual simpulas (ladles) of the 6th-3rd century B.C.
The museum goes on with the exhibition of other small bronzes which reflect the artistic Etruscan production of the 6th and 5th century B.C. (two offering bearers) and Roman (deities) notably from the 1st-2nd century A.D. Next to these statuettes, there is also a small bronze Kouros of extraordinary Peloponnesian manufacture of the second half of the 6th century B.C.
The following case contains several painted pots (oinochoi, lekythoi and a kylix) of different origin (Apulian, Attic) and domestic pottery (oil jars and amphorae) of the 1st-2nd century A.D. found mainly in northern Italy.
The sixth and seventh cases collect bronze ornamental items of Venetian manufacture (4th-3rd century B.C.), Roman keys of different shapes and sizes (1st-2nd century A.D.), several votive offerings made with the lost-wax casting technique (1st -2nd century A.D.), two bronze steelyards coming from Rome (1st-2nd century A.D.) and several examples of utilitarian pottery (oil jars, lamps and small cups). The last two display cases contain the interesting collection of ancient “free-blown” glasses which includes cubic-body hydriai, different shapes of unguentaria (jar-shaped, bell-shaped, and onion-shaped) of the 1st-2nd century A.D., a lagoena with a disc body (first half of the 1st century A.D.) a cylindrical-shaped skyphos, a cubic-shaped mercurial bottle with an inscription, a large ovoid oil jar (1st-2nd century A.D.) and numerous cups with cylindrical or truncated conical bodies (1st-2nd century A.D.).
