The Museum archaeological collection dates back to the period 1817-1826 thanks to the excavations, both in the city and in its surrounding, sponsored by the Austrian Emperor and supervised by Michele della Torre Valsassina.

Later on the collection grew up thanks to donations and fortuitous findings such as the discovery, in 1874, in Piazza Paolo Diacono of the so-called tomb of Duke Gisulfo.At the end of 19^th century the Museum venue was in the Palazzo de Nordis and Alvise Zorzi, director of the Museum at that time, defined the first coherent setting of the collection. The Museum increased its belongings adding archaeological items coming from the region as well historical documents and art objects.Since 1990 it has been settled in the 16^th century Palazzo dei Provveditori Veneti, which has been designed by Andrea Palladio and built between 1565 and 1596.The current settings present, at the ground floor and in the backyard, an exposition, mostly based on lapidary objects, describing the history of Cividale from the Roman age through the Patriarchal age, at the first floor visitors may see the Early Middle Ages funerary objects coming from the territory of the first italian Longobard duchy. The top floor hosts the archives and the library.
