The museum’s elevated floor is used for temporary exhibitions and conferences whereas the first floor houses the Greek-Roman section innate in the Tarantino society. Moreover, the museum’s second floor houses the prehistoric section of the Paleolithic and Bronze Age that is inherent in the entire Apulian territory. In the very last room, there are funeral epigraphs put in place by Jews, Muslims, and Christians, documenting the differences in culture and religion by people present in Taranto between the 4th and 11th century AD. Without forgetting, the museum is also home to the incredible treasure of the Ori of Taranto, a true anthology of the Hellenistic goldsmith art!
Also, the museum’s beautiful stands showcase gold embellished with colored stones and glass pastes, Greek polychrome pottery, bones, ivory alongside imported stained glass which features burial crematorium of the imperial age. A new exhibition robe donated by Bishop Ricciardi to the museum and reserved for paintings is also present.
The section that is devoted to the city from late antique Byzantine age offers an extensive documentation of the mosaic pavements inclusive of public and private housing, along with geometric patterns and polychrome figurative and strati-graphic excavations of recent materials, all which have provided relevant data to the reconstruction of the historic center through historical ages.
With the reconstruction of antique environments of Paolo Quagliati alongside purchases and donations made to the museum, the history section of the museum has completely been renewed.
