The Museum, inaugurated in 1988, collects the archaeological and paleobotanical evidence of Anglona. It is divided into 5 sections:

PALEOBOTANICS SECTION

It exhibits a sample of plant fossils, coming from the Petrified Forests of Anglona, ​​covering over 300 square kilometers. The formation dates back to about 30-15 million years ago. The phenomenon of fossilization is due to the volcanic activity taking place in the area and to hydrothermal phenomena, which destroyed the forests, whose trunks immersed in lake basins, underwent the replacement of lignin with minerals (silica).

PALEOLITHIC SECTION

It exhibits stone artefacts, the oldest found in Sardinia so far and dated to the Lower Palaeolithic (500,000-120,000 years ago). The materials are mostly made up of scrapers and denticulates. The raw material used is flint.
