Supported by educational panels, plans and visual reproductions, the objects on display cover various aspects of the period’s productive, religious and spiritual activities.

They include agricultural tools like hatchets, millstones and bronze chisels, as well as vases that attest to the development of pottery production.
There are also finds connected to metalworking and domestic activities, like whorls and spools used for weaving, as well as objects linked to religious and funerary practices.

The museum also has a section devoted to petroglyphs found in the Irgoli area.
These carvings, made on metamorphic rock, feature a range of different combinations of marks.
