Civico Museo Archeologico

  • Review this attraction

  • A few pieces in an otherwise modest collection make this a worthwhile stop. The best is the Trivulzio Cup (see Civico Museo Archeologico, Milan). A boulder from the Val Camonica (see Val Calmonica Villages), which is adorned with 4,800-year-old Bronze Age carvings, lies in the entrance court. There’s also a stunning silver platter from the mid-4th century that displays in relief the deities of earth, sky, water and the zodiac – a resounding statement of faith in the old gods at a time of encroaching Christianity. In the 15th-century cloisters, half-demolished by bombs during World War II, are a pair of brick towers from the bastions of the Imperial-era city.
