National Archaeological Museum of Paestum

關於

The National Archaeological Museum of Paestum (Italian: Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Paestum) is a museum in Capaccio-Paestum, Salerno, southern Italy that houses archaeological finds from excavations of the ancient Greek city of Poseidonia/Paistom, then Paestum.

The museum is one of the major "on-site" museums in Italy. The different sections that compose it allow the visitor to retrace the history of the Greek, Lucanian and Roman city.

The museum houses numerous archaeological finds originating from the sacred city of Paestum, the Heraion at Foce del Sele, and nearby necropoleis, including the Gaudo necropolis and the Santa Venera necropolis.

Since 2015, following the Prime Ministerial Decree 171/2014, the museum became a state museum with special autonomy.

In 2017, the Paestum excavations and museum were the fifteenth most visited Italian state site, with 441,037 visitors.
