Municipal Antiquarium of Agropoli

The municipal administration of Agropoli, with the establishment of the City Arts Palace, has taken on a great responsibility. The exhibition facility dedicated to art, archaeology, and, more generally, culture, has been conceived in a rational and innovative way with the main goal of offering the local community a museum—virtual for the art section and documentary for the part related to the area’s oldest history. It is an agile and flexible structure, designed for teaching and education on art topics, and open to a series of experiments and workshops, which, in an interactive way, can allow for the deepening of a series of pathways. Today, this complex project inaugurates the exhibition space, the conference room, and the section aimed at enhancing the territory and its most ancient and documented signs of occupation. The setup, promoted in collaboration with the Superintendence for the Archaeological Heritage of the Provinces of Salerno, Avellino, Caserta, and Benevento, was curated by archaeologist Laura Del Verme and coordinated by the director of the Paestum Museum, Marina Cipriani.

The event fits into a broader framework of collaboration, promotion, and enhancement of cultural tourism and the decongestion of off-season attendance, which the Municipality has initiated together with the local Superintendence since the establishment of the current administration. From this year, the Palace will also be included in the ArteCard circuit.
