The Archaeological Park and the “Luigi Bernabò Brea” museum and is located in the historic center of the island of Lipari, in Sicily. The museum is located within the city castle complex, overlooking the city. The museum was born after World War II and was named after Luigi Bernabò Brea. Archaeological excavations in the territory of the Aeolian Islands are due to Brea and, therefore, the discovery of many finds. The museum itinerary has about 40 rooms divided into sections: prehistoric, classical, epigraphic, of the smaller islands, volcanology and paleontology. The collection tells the history of the area through archaic, classical, Roman and Byzantine finds. Of great interest are the finds found in the Greek-Roman necropolis of Lipari and in the smaller islands (Punta Milazzese in Panarea, Capo Graziano in Filicudi). In the rooms there are also architectural remains and sculptures in marble and stone, funerary objects, tombstones, stone sarcophagi, cippi and vases that testify the evolution of the funeral cult. Today the museum houses the art and archeology library, temporary exhibitions and educational workshops.
