The venue, located on the first floor of the Palace Mediterranean, recent construction situated in the expansion area of the city. Only at the end of the 60s the museum assumes the present structure, as a result of a complex restructuring. The Bronze Age, in Ragusa, you can assign a network of villages, many of which are represented exhibits. Among them, we mention the village of Castiglione, who will then again in the era protoarcaica reoccupied by natives. Particularly significant are also the villages of Monte Raci and Branco Grande. Greek archaic period in the largest settlement of our area is Camarina, a colony founded by the Greek city of Syracuse. The role of the city was strategic in the process of education for indigenous people. Moving on to the Hellenistic period, the story tells of the settlement of Scornavacche (now Chiaramonte Gulfi). The museum uses an arrangement of exhibits ordered chronologically and for topographical areas. The displays feature reconstructions faithfully replicate the excavations related to the exhibits presented. These environments evoke in the visitor the idea of the use of the exhibits.
