The admission to the museum was very reasonable. We were also pleasantly surprised when we were greeted by Valentino, who was our guide during our visit. She was an excellent guide and explained the history of the artifacts. We learned more about the exhibits than we would have done on our own. We enjoyed our visit to the museum and would recommend it to others. The artifacts are displayed very well.

The national museum is located in the historic center of Potenza and consists of two exhibition floors, with artifacts found in the various regional areas but in particular those of Vaglio di Basilicata. Rich in objects found, ranging from the 10th century BC. to the 2nd century A.D. and illustrative photos of the excavations carried out. I invite you to visit it...

This museum reminds me of the first time I visited it in middle school. It's always nice to come back for a visit. During the FAI days the guides were very good at explaining the topics and the long history of what is currently a museum. The most interesting part is seeing the tools they use to restore the finds found.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
