The museum follows the story of mankind in Abruzzo, from man's first appearance as a Palaeolithic hunter. It highlights the contribution made by 9 italic tribes from Abruzzo and Molise to the making of Rome, thus giving the name "Italy" to the entire peninsula. A brief summary illustrates how much of their past has been handed down to us in terms of customs, beliefs, places of worship, products, objects, manners. The central theme of the museum, organized into 16 huge display rooms, is the concept of continuity, everlasting culture, illustrated via a fascinating, educational exhibition, equipped with multimedia facilities and digitally assisted audio guide available in many languages. The museum, is one of the most original and innovative within the field of Antropology in Italy. The Museum of the Abruzzi People is located in the historical centre of Pescara, inside the old Bourbon barracks building. The floor where the permanent collection is housed was built as barracks in the 18th Century, on the basement that belonged to Pescara's 15th Century fortress.
We were in the museum as a Group and we very liked it. It’s a really interesting museum and it was worth to visit especially because we had a really nice Guide who told us a lot about the exhibits. The museum shows the history from Abruzzo with old discoveries and different samples found in the region.

The Museum is housed in a late nineteenth century villa located in the center of Pescara. Inside, it houses the precious and ancient ceramic collection of Castelli, the result of 40 years of research and study by Raffaele Paparella Treccia, who donated his collection and his house to a Foundation named after him and his wife Margaret Devlet. Castelli, a small village in the province of Teramo, has been, over the centuries, one of the largest centers for the production of ceramics. The collection exhibited consists of 151 selected masterpieces of the great Castelli masters active between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, including Francesco Grue, his son Carlo Antonio Grue, his grandson Francesco Antonio Saverio and others, such as Gentili, Cappelletti and Fuina, ordered chronologically, and displayed in the main rooms of the house. The Foundation is committed to spreading the knowledge of the majolica of Castelli and educational activities, to promote love and interest for Art.
