National Archaeological Museum, Cagliari
The National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari (Italian: Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari) is a museum in Cagliari, Sardinia (Italy).
The museum houses findings from the pre-Nuragic and
Byzantine age. These include a large collection of prehistoric bronze statuettes from the Nuragic age, some earlier stone statuettes of female divinities, reconstruction of a Phoenician settlement, the Nora Stone, Carthaginian goldsmith examples, Roman and Italic ceramics and Byzantine jewels.[1]
The museum houses a valuable collection of
Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia (1759-1824), and the collection was originally held in his Museum of Natural History and Antiquities - these were transferred to the University of Cagliari in 1858, then to the museum in 1991.[2]
The museum itself was formerly an armory. After falling into disrepair, the building was rebuilt by Italian architect Libero Cecchini.[3]
