The museum contains many ancient artifacts, cultivated from Sardinia as well as other parts of Italy. Because the town of Olbia was established in the BC by the Romans, many artifacts from ancient Romans are held within the museum's walls. On weekends, the museum comes alive with music and after hours fun.
