Museo Janora

The archaeological collection Janora consists of a total of 1621 heterogeneous artifacts: pottery, weapons, domestic tools, personal ornaments and coins. The objects come from the necropolis or individual graves scattered mostly along the eastern sections of Basilicata and northwestern Puglia. Their dating covers a very wide time span from the Neolithic period until the late Roman period; the highest percentage of findings, however, dating between the sixth and second centuries BC The co-op Arenacea who runs the museum organizes Irsina Art, two summer courses in painting-residence with the aim of creating, through a period of creativity and meeting between artists, the opportunity to discover Basilicata, a land of traditions and unique atmosphere. Courses will be held in various foreign languages. For information contact Arenacea.
