Museolab of the City of Grosseto

The museum is housed in the monumental complex of the former Clarisse convent (late 16th century).

The laboratory was created to communicate the results of the archaeological investigation carried out in the city center between 1998 and 2003.

The exhibition project is divided into two phases: the first includes a series of rooms, arranged chronologically, dedicated to the various periods of the city’s history (from the late Renaissance to the early Middle Ages). The second is methodological. The visitor learns about events through archaeological investigation methods based on three channels of information: the work done by the archaeologist during the excavation, the evidence of what was found, and the synthesis activity carried out by the archaeologist who, interpreting the data, proposes a historical reconstruction.

Moreover, the exhibition extensively uses computer technologies. The rooms feature graphic reconstructions of everyday life scenes that document the social structure, the economy and exchanges, and the material culture of the city of Grosseto.
