About
In 1875, Luigi Pigorini established the National Museum of Prehistory and Ethnography.
This institution serves as the leading hub in Italy for safeguarding and showcasing pre-historic and non-European artifacts. Its primary responsibilities include conducting archaeological and anthropological studies, documenting and preserving collections, organizing both permanent and temporary exhibits, creating educational opportunities, as well as training individuals in conservation, museology, archaeology, and anthropology. In present times, the Pigorini Museum has evolved to reflect the diverse Italian community, becoming a vital source of cultural knowledge for immigrants and ethnic minorities residing in the country.
