Museo Lapidario Maffeiano
Museo Lapidario Maffeiano is one of Europe’s oldest public archaeological museums, founded in the 18th century by the scholar Scipione Maffei. Located beside Verona’s Roman Arena, it preserves an extraordinary collection of ancient inscriptions, reliefs, sarcophagi, and sculptural fragments that trace the cultural exchanges of the classical world. The museum is arranged around a quiet courtyard and a series of galleries where Greek, Etruscan, Roman, and early Christian artefacts are displayed with scholarly precision. Each piece offers insight into language, religion, and daily life in antiquity, making the collection a vital resource for understanding Verona’s deep historical roots. Its serene atmosphere and academic clarity give the museum a timeless, contemplative character.
Verona ItalyMuseo Lapidario Maffeiano is located at Piazza Bra 28 in the historic centre of Verona, overlooking Piazza Bra just beside the Portoni della Bra city gate and a few steps from the Verona Arena amphitheatre. The museum sits in front of the Teatro Filarmonico and is surrounded by elegant cafés, restaurants and shops around the square, while nearby streets lead quickly to Via Mazzini, Piazza delle Erbe and other key monuments of the old town, all within easy walking distance.
