Main image

The Museo archeologico e d’arte della Maremma is the principal civic museum in Grosseto, Tuscany, housing archaeological and art collections relating to the Maremma territory. The museum brings together material that documents the area from prehistoric times through the classical and medieval periods alongside later local art.

Exhibition areas are organised to separate archaeological finds from the fine and decorative arts. Visitors will see pottery, stone tools, and other archaeological material alongside paintings and ecclesiastical objects that illustrate the cultural history of the Grosseto area.

Collections were assembled over the 19th and 20th centuries from excavations and local donations, and the institution functions as the main repository for regional heritage and research. The museum has evolved to combine conservation, display and educational activities for local archaeology and art.

The museum is located in the city of Grosseto in southern Tuscany, within the province capital and readily accessible from the town centre.
