Very interesting museum. Cividale has a lot of stories to tell. The museum is focused in particular on the Longobardi Kingdom that had in Cividale a very important place. Every first weekend of the month you can access the museum for free and there are also events of every kind (music, conferences and so on). The location is wonderful in the main center of the town. Free parking on the other side of the Natisone river .... just cross the Devil's bridge!

Extensive collection of Lombard artifacts from former Roman city and later Lombard capital.
A fantastic collection of very important early mediaeval finds from the Langobard period. Well worth travelling to pay a visit. It is one of a number of museums in Northern Italy which devotes a large amount (in this case, all) of its space to the material culture of the early mediaeval period, something which is, for some reason (possibly a hangover from the days when pride in germanic heritage was frowned upon) is very sadly lacking in Britain. There are plans to create a museum dedicated to the Anglo-Saxon period in Winchester. If it ever comes to fruition, I hope that it will look to museums like Cividale for inspiration and combine quality and quantity, rather than confirming with modern museum trends in the UK which seem to favour style over substance.
Very nice place, a lot of things to see. Unfortunately not all descriptions are in English.
Interesting.
Museo molto ben curato che espone un’ampia gamma di reperti relativi all’epoca longobarda. Oltre alla ricostruzione delle tombe e a un gran numero di armi e monili, il pezzo forte dal mio punto di vista è la collezione di 56 monete d’oro, seconda solo a quella del British Museum. Considerato che il biglietto di ingresso costa solo 4, ritengo questo museo una tappa imperdibile a Cividale.
