Even though it was 1962 when the first stone was laid, the Archaeological Museum saw its official opening only in 1980. 

Recently, the museum was dedicated to the distinguished archaeologist Gianfilippo Carettoni, who was the first to regularly work on the excavations in the ancient Casinum. The building, erected inside the Roman city, uses some of its ancient spaces to host offices, warehouses, and exhibition areas. The findings are displayed in three halls; the new acquisitions together with the prehistoric and proto-historic section, the pottery and architectonic material section, and the sculptures and epigraphs section. In the Lapidarium, at the lower level of the museum, architectonic elements and funerary inscriptions from the surrounding area are also collected.

The museum is located in a wide archaeological district, where part of a paved street, a mausoleum, traditionally attributed to the matron Ummidia Quadratilla, an amphitheater, and a theater of the Augustan Age are also preserved.
