Benevento - Samnium Museum

(Local Name: Museo del Sannio) Adjoining the Santa Sofia in Benevento is the beautiful cloister of a former convent of Benedictine nuns, now housing the interesting Museo de Sannio, which contains a very fine prehistoric and early historical department, including Samnitic and Greco-Roman finds and Egyptian sculpture, as well as a rich coin collection and medieval and modern pictures.
