Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo

The museum follows the story of mankind in Abruzzo, from man's first appearance as a Palaeolithic hunter. It highlights the contribution made by 9 italic tribes from Abruzzo and Molise to the making of Rome, thus giving the name "Italy" to the entire peninsula. A brief summary illustrates how much of their past has been handed down to us in terms of customs, beliefs, places of worship, products, objects, manners. The central theme of the museum, organized into 16 huge display rooms, is the concept of continuity, everlasting culture, illustrated via a fascinating, educational exhibition, equipped with multimedia facilities and digitally assisted audio guide available in many languages. The museum, is one of the most original and innovative within the field of Antropology in Italy. The Museum of the Abruzzi People is located in the historical centre of Pescara, inside the old Bourbon barracks building. The floor where the permanent collection is housed was built as barracks in the 18th Century, on the basement that belonged to Pescara's 15th Century fortress.

We were in the museum as a Group and we very liked it. It’s a really interesting museum and it was worth to visit especially because we had a really nice Guide who told us a lot about the exhibits. The museum shows the history from Abruzzo with old discoveries and different samples found in the region.

Very interesting little museum in the heart of Pescara's old town. Definitely worth a visit! However, I'd recommend the museum's managers to improve the English material for foreign visitors ;-)

Pescara Vecchia

Reviewed By ugon2021 - Pescara, Italy

Despite its relatively small size, Pescara's old town is a true gem. Its main streets are Corso Manthoné, via delle Caserme and via dei Bastioni (the latter follows the same path as the ancient Roman road connecting Pescara to Rome), while Piazza Garibaldi is the heart of the old town. Here, in a 500 m range, visitors may find three gorgeous museums (the Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo, hosted in the 500 year old barracks of the ancient fortress, displaying the history of people and traditions in Abruzzo; Gabriele D'Annunzio's birthplace museum; and the Cascella Museum, which contains a gorgeous collection of Abruzzese paintings from the XIX and XX century), archaeological sites (es. Santa Gerusalemme, a medieval church built on top of a Roman temple), the cathedral of Saint Cetteo, as well as dozens a m a z i n g restaurants serving traditional local cuisine (Taverna 58 and Pescì are must visit) as well as foreign (Chef Nestor and Giappo for Japanese, Omar Kayyam for Persian). Moreover, the whole area is literally full of archaeological remains waiting to be restored and brought back to life.
