It was
founded by the palaeo-ethnologist Luigi Pigorini,
his aim was that of illustrating Italian prehistoric
evidence and that of the present-day peoples in order
to compare the different phases of development of the
cultures.
The
museum was inaugurated in 1876 in the building of
the Roman College; between 1962 and 1977 it was
transferred to its present site in the EUR area.
The hew
establishment was inaugurated in 1994 the exhibit is
divided into two sections: one dedicated to Prehistory
and Protohistory and the other to Non-European
Indigenous Cultures.
The
ethnographic sector, which is situated on the first
floor, is organized according to a geographic division:
African finds illustrate the essential historical
moments in the exploration of the continent which started
between 1434 and 1488, with various artifacts of artistic
handicraft.
From
the Americas one can admire the finds from
the archaeological cultures of Mesoamerica and western
America.
The
Oceanic section contains many items, mostly collected
by travelers at the end of the XIX century, and are
organized in such a way as to illustrate the specific
regions.
The
palaeo-ethnology section presents different exhibition
areas which aim at illustrating the different search
methods on the prehistorically sites and the main stages
of human evolution.
The sections
are supplied with advanced didactic supports, plastic
models, reconstructions, graphical devices,
which, though they provide rigorous scientific information,
succeed in intriguing and fascinating visitors.
The
evolutionary tour of our species is completed by
a multimedia and digital support that accompanies visitors
along a route of model settings that faithfully reproduce
different excavation conditions.
As regards
the older phase there are finds from the settlements
of Castel di Guido and Torre in Pietra
(about 300,000 years ago).
The finds
of Saccopastore (about 100,000 years ago) and of Grotta
Guattari al Circeo belong to the era of the Neanderthal
Man.
The next
section regards more recent phases, there is material
from the underwater site "La Marmotta" located
in the lake of Bracciano, as well as a large
panorama of the artefacts from the Neolithic,
Eneolithic, Bronze and Iron ages, from
both Italian and European sites.
Some
of the items featured are of Aegean origin, in particular
Troy II - V century, Minoans (Phaistos,
Haghia Triada) and Mycenian (necropolis
of Rhodes).
