The Museum documents, with an educational setting, the paleontological aspects of the Serchio Valley, the archaeological ones of the Barga territory (Ligurian tombs and Etruscan bronzes) and the artistic ones of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Baroque. The first two rooms display paleontological and archaeological fossil finds. Three rooms are dedicated to the Middle Ages, the early Renaissance and the last room to the Baroque. Going down to the old prison, recent studies have made it possible to reconstruct the furnishings of a torture room and a secret room; moreover, through a predetermined path, one can understand a past in which the way of conceiving and exercising justice was very different from that of today.
