Summary
The Museum is situated within the archaeological area of Altino. The exhibition is presented in rooms 1 and 2 , along the portico around the square in the middle and in the garden in front of the Museum. The exhibition ‘Altino. Lagoon Glass’ is presented in six displays located in these two rooms. Renovation works of the new premises are well underway and soon an additional section will open in a rural complex located nearby. It will host a much larger collection of prehistoric, Roman and Late Antiquity-Early Middle Age exhibits.
Collection history
From around 1880s scientists and Veneto institutions started to take interest in the topography of the ancient Altino and in the archaeological items of Altino origin belonging to Reali family, then owners of the area. More objects from the city and its necropolises were found as a result of excavation, agriculture and reclaim works. The need for proper preservation of such numerous and important findings became evident and urgent. Eventually, under the management of Bruna Forlati Tamaro, the National Archaeological Museum of Altino was opened in 1960. In spite of space limitations there have been regular re-arrangements of the exhibition since then. The current exhibition was set up under the title of ‘Altino. Lagoon Glass’ in 2010 as a permanent arrangement.
