The Antiquarium of Milan (Antiquarium di Milano) is a historical museum and park in Milan, Italy. It is located on via De Amicis in Milan and holds archaeological items from the foundations of the Roman amphitheater of Milan, as well as some Medieval objects excavated in the vicinity. The antiquarium is dedicated to the archaeologist Alda Levi who worked in Milan from 1925 to 1939.[1]
The museum is housed in a former convent of Dominican nuns, close to the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria. The park preserves the remains of the foundations of the Roman amphitheater of Milan.[1]
The Roman era part of the museum primarily displays items found in recent archaeological excavations of the south-western area of the city. These items shed light on the history and the daily life of the population of the city during that period.
Apart from daily life, the museum also holds gladiatorial items that relate to the exhibitions in the nearby Roman amphitheater. Some of the items on display are reconstructions of materials found in recent archaeological excavations.
A secondary set of items relate to medieval objects discovered in the area.
