The Aquino Town Museum, which opened in December 2000, is located within a large garden in the Roman and mediaeval archaeological site of ancient Aquinum, half way between a paved section of the Via Latina and the monumental church of St. Maria della Libera. The museum is dedicated to the history and spatial transformations of the ancient territory of Aquino, from prehistory to modern times. The exhibition is divided into four chronological sections: Prehistory, Roman Age: Republic and Empire, Middle Ages and Modern Age, and is represented by parallel educational and explanatory panels and corresponding archaeological materials; a multimedia station offers visitors a virtual tour of the museum and the ancient territory.
