National Archaeological Museum of Aquileia, Aquileia

National Archaeological Museum of Aquileia illustrates the history of a sea port that served as the gateway to the Mediterranean for almost 700 years. The museum contains an exceptional collection, compiled over a period of two centuries. As you discover the exhibits, you'll travel back to an ancient Roman metropolis and learn all about its commercial and cosmopolitan characteristics. Items on display include household furnishings, decorative pieces, coins, gems, and statues. Displays continue just outside the museum, where you'll see hundreds of funerary monuments and inscriptions providing a look into the social and religious customs of an ancient Roman community.
