Il Museo is divided into several sections and presents the archaeological evidence of the north-western Basilicata territory.
The first section illustrates the results of excavations conducted in the important settlement of Baragiano, through the reconstruction of a sector of the archaic necropolis, where the most significant funerary furnishings have been relocated.
The second section is dedicated to the Lucanian phase of the territory with the finds related to the ancient center of Raia San Basilio, in the Murese territory, and to the Hellenistic sanctuary of c.da Fontana Bona di Ruoti.
The third section illustrates the process of Romanization of the area, thanks to the evidence coming from the numerous villas identified in the territory, of which the rich mosaics are on display. Finally, one section is devoted to the profession of the archaeologist, to stratigraphic excavation, to the deciphering of the stories that the earth tells to those who try to interpret its language.
