The Antiquarium, housed in the old municipal headquarters, houses in its rooms finds coming almost exclusively from the municipal territory, which can be placed in a chronological arc that goes from the Recent Neolithic to the Middle Ages.
The materials recovered from surface collections are accompanied by the objects found in the recent excavation campaigns of the sacred monuments of the Nuragic era of Janna 'e Pruna and Su Notante.
The entire exhibition itinerary of the museum structure, divided into two floors, is designed for mainly educational purposes and thanks to a rich iconographic collection (explanatory panels, plans and photographic reproductions), it allows the visitor an easy and immediate approach.
The object on display becomes a pretext for a narrative that unfolds over the millennia, touching on the various aspects of production activities and of the cultural and spiritual sphere: stone tools (sharpener, axes, blades, millstones, pestles, asinarie mills) and bronze (axes and chisels) document the origin and development of agricultural work; kettle pots and fringed colins attest to the processing of milk; intact and fragmentary containers exemplify the development of agricultural work; intact and fragmentary containers exemplify the development of agricultural work; kettle pots and fringed colins attest to the processing of milk; intact and fragmentary containers exemplify the development of agricultural work; kettle pots and fringed colins attest to the processing of milk; intact and fragmentary containers exemplify the development of agricultural work; kettle pots and fringed colins attest to the processing of milk; intact and fragmentary containers exemplify the development of agricultural work; kettle pots and fringed colins attest to the processing of milk; intact and fragmentary containers exemplify the development of agricultural work; kettle pots and fringed colins attest to the processing of milk; intact ceramic production through the centuries; fragmentary ingots, shapes of fusion and the finished product in its many forms show in all its complexity the creative vivacity of the metallurgist craftsman; fusaiole and loom weights recall the strictly feminine activities of spinning and weaving; a splendid specimen of pintadera testifies to the preparation of decorated breads, while vitreous paste necklaces, collars, pins and bronze bracelets immediately reveal the taste and care for personal ornaments; the votive offerings found in the sacred buildings of Janna 'e Pruna and Su Finally, they constitute interesting devotional manifestations, just as, on the other hand, a truncoconical betyl in basalt and a monumental granite “toothed” tassel, recovered from the tombs of giants, refer significantly to the funerary sphere.
Why is it important to visit
The Antiquarium, thanks to its highly educational structure, the possibility of taking advantage of an accurate guided tour and workshops for children/teenagers, is an opportunity for the visitor to immediately and easily contact the attestations of the ancient population of the territory of Irgoli; a contact that finds another opportunity for further study during the visit to the nuragic sanctuary of Janna'e Pruna and Su Notante.
