The Archaeological Museum of Frosinone, owned by the municipality, was established by a council resolution in 1972, designed and partially completed during 1993, and officially inaugurated on April 9, 1994. The Museum, a permanent non-profit institution serving the community and open to the public, is organized and operates according to the rules of the new Regulation approved in 2009, replacing the previous Regulation from 1993. The new Museum Regulation fully defines its legal status and provides the museum institution with a comprehensive set of rules linked to its specific functions, in line with recent legislative developments concerning museums. In implementation of Article 20 of the Regulation, the Municipal Council approved the Service Charter in 2010, a fundamental communication tool between the Museum and citizens and a safeguard for users’ rights. The Museum exhibits archaeological finds recovered from the city and the surrounding territory, chronologically spanning from the Lower Paleolithic to the Imperial Roman period. The artifacts document the earliest human settlements and first stable habitations (Room I), the Volscian occupation (Room II), Romanization and the Imperial period (Room III). The museum’s layout, in addition to the main rooms for the permanent exhibition, includes a space for temporary exhibitions (Room IV), an area reserved for educational activities, and a Reception Area designed to explain the Museum’s exhibition logic and to facilitate public enjoyment of the facility and offered services.
