The Civic Archaeological Museum and the "Edilberto Rosa" Art Gallery are housed in Amelia, together with the Historical Archive and the Municipal Library, in the premises of the former Boccarini College, originally a Franciscan convent from the 13th-14th century with a double loggia cloister built in 16th century. The museum exhibition collects the testimonies of Amelia from the pre-Roman period to that of the complete Romanization of the center, up to the early medieval phase. The oldest section houses materials from an ancient pre-Roman necropolis , recently discovered outside Porta Romana. The first uses of the necropolis date back to the 4th century BC: it has yielded rich funerary objects, with the presence of goldsmithery, coins and other valuable materials which denote the presence of commercial traffic that put the Umbrians of Ameria in contact with the Hellenic world. The richest tomb yielded a stratification of funerary objects from the 4th century to the 1st century BC and an abundance of mirrors and bronze banquet containers. The skeleton of a dog was also found in the necropolis, buried next to the grave of a child. Of notable interest is the bronze statue of the Roman general Nero Claudius Drusus, known as Germanicus, found in 1963. More than two meters high, it is armed and covered in richly decorated armour. Amelia's bronze was probably placed on the campus of the Roman city, the area intended for the physical and military exercises of local youth. Together with the statue, a large number of grave goods, capitals, trophies and an altar emerged. A multimedia installation "makes the statue of General Germanicus speak".
