understand the structure and the history of the ancient sites archaeological
immediately and on incisive way. The panels of traditional
structure go along multimedia exhibition panels, containing videos
equipment, offering movies that can clearly illustrate the history and
location of archaeological features contained in the various rooms
of the museum. The configuration of these panels is proposed as
a discreet presence even in its current forms and materials used.
The directional panels classify and indicate the routes, taking shape
as elements of a system of museum’s organization, that even in its
newness integrates the ancient site and its historical characteristics,

Planks of wood on a natural and lived aspect join in the platforms,
