The National Archaeological Institute with Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (NAIM-BAS) is the main scientific research center for Archaeology in Bulgaria. Its main activities are related to comprehensive research on the material and spiritual culture of the tribes and peoples that inhabited the present-day Bulgarian lands from remote prehistory (1 600 000 BC) until the 18th century AD. The institution is a national center and coordinator of all field research in the State and exercises scholarly and methodological control over it.
The Dutch National Museum of Antiquities brings archaeology and the ancient world to life. At the museum, everyone can explore the age-old civilisations of Egypt, the Classical World, the ancient Near East, and the Netherlands in prehistoric, Roman, and medieval times. In 2018 the museum celebrated its 200th anniversary.
Aperto al pubblico per la prima volta nel 2001, ampliato successivamente nel 2006, propone un allestimento interamente dedicato al ricchissimo patrimonio della città antica e medievale e del suo territorio: i molteplici itinerari che si snodano al suo interno divengono poi, all’esterno della struttura, singoli percorsi di visita a quella che può oggi vantarsi di essere una vera e propria “città – museo”.
"Il Museo è un'istituzione permanente, senza scopo di lucro, al servizio della società e del suo sviluppo. È aperto al pubblico e compie ricerche che riguardano le testimonianze materiali e immateriali dell'umanità e del suo ambiente; le acquisisce, le conserva, le comunica e, soprattutto, le espone a fini di studio, educazione e diletto."
Nel 1992 è stato istituito il Museo dell’Agro Veientano, museo civico del Comune di Formello. Inizialmente aperto con un allestimento parziale in una sede provvisoria in Piazza San Lorenzo, dal 10 dicembre 2011 ha trovato definitiva collocazione nel prestigioso Palazzo Chigi nel cuore del Centro Storico.
The Gallo-Roman Museum (http://galloromeinsmuseum.be/en/homepage) is the largest archaeological museum in Flanders with around 150,000 visitors annually. The museum doesn’t only present treasures from the Gallo-Roman period, the permanent collection also tells the universal story of man in the Limburg region: from prehistory to the end of the Roman period. More than 2,000 objects from the museum’s own collection has been beautifully presented in a highly-original set. In 2011 the Gallo-Roman Museum of Tongeren won the European Museum of the Year Award.
The Gallo-Roman Museum is situated in the former capital of the Civitas Tungrorum: Atuatuca Tungrorum or later on named Municipium Tungrorum. With it’s 150 ha it was the largest civitas of North-western Europe. Tongeren was the only city of it’s kind within the civitas.
The civitas Tungrorum was established during the reign of Augustus as part of the Roman province of Gallia Belgica; the oldest evidence of Roman presence dates to 12/9 BC. After the establishment of the Germanic provinces during Domitian’s reign, the civitas was transferred to Germania Inferior. In the second century AD, a prestigious town wall 4,500m long, encircled the urban centre characterized by a regular street grid. In the fourth century AD, a new town wall 2,600m long, was built to defend the most elevated part of the civitas capital. Archaeological excavations over the last 50 years have revealed monumental architectural structures and many splendid objects.
