The Museo Archeologico Regionale Antonio Salinas is one of Italy's richest archaeological collections, housed in a 17th-century former monastery. Its prize exhibits are the monumental metopes from the Greek temples of Selinunte.
Founded in 1814, the museum inherited collections assembled by the Jesuits and the University of Palermo. Antonio Salinas, the eminent archaeologist after whom it is named, directed it from 1873 to 1914.
