Guardians of history reflect the Italian reality
The Region of Veneto offers its visitors a large variety of museums of great cultural importance: of altogether 340 museums, there are 64 archaeological museums, 55 art museums, 50 ethnographic museums and 45 museums of natural science.
Reflecting the Italian reality, it should be mentioned that the majority are state museums, and by their constitution many of them are civic museums. This reveals the close relationship between these institutions, specific guardians of history, and the roots of local communities where they are located, since the museums display collections representative of the local area. There are a large number of archaeological collections, a fact that also reflects the economic, social and cultural history of that region, that can boast of prehistoric traces 32 thousand years old (Fumane Cave near Verona).
Underwater archaeology, relating to rivers, lakes and other bodies of water occupies a prominent place in the archaeology of this region. Over the past few years, special attention has been given to demographic-ethnological-anthropological heritage that includes ethnographic, anthropological, regional and specialized museums. In addition to preservation, many museum exhibits are dedicated to accomplishing didactic goals, and there is an even greater intention of involving citizens in such an initiative.
