Museo Archeologico Oliveriano

In 1756, the Pesaro community was donated a very rich collection of ancient objects by Hannibal of the Abbati Olivieri. The museum was established in 1787 when Olivieri decided to give back 20,000 volumes and a second collection of archaeological and numismatic material of great value. Since 1793, the Museum and the Library have been managed by the Oliveriana Foundation. After World War II, the museum was rearranged in three rooms and was opened to the public in 1967.
