The museum was founded on the initiative of Antonio Cerutti and his archaeological group, which led to the discovery of a series of archaeological finds that became the first nucleus of the museum's collection.
The renovated layout is located on the ground floor of the Cultural Centre of the Municipality of Ragogna.
The naturalistic section of the museum deals with the geomorphological analysis of the morainic amphitheatre of the Tagliamento, of which various aspects are taken into consideration.
There is also a description of the ecosystem of the Tagliamento river and of the Lake of Ragogna, illustrated through educational panels, habitat reconstructions and dioramas.
The archaeological section hosts material dating back to the Ancient Neolithic period, from the Roman period (a 5th-century knight's fibula), some bas-reliefs from the Longobard period (dating back to the 7th-8th century), the anthropomorphic stoup of S.Remigio (dating back to the 11th century), medieval finds from the Castle and a lapidarium.
