Menhir Museum

The Museum of Prehistoric Statuary in Sardinia, also known as the Menhir Museum, offers a fascinating journey into Sardinia's ancient history. It is housed in the magnificent Palazzo Aymerich, the former residence of the Marquises of Laconi in the heart of the Sarcidano, designed in the mid-19th century by architect Gaetano Cima. Here, a story closely linked to the discovery of the statue-menhirs of Laconi is told.

Visitors can wander through the various halls dedicated to menhirs and prehistoric statuary. A “gallery” also presents megalithic burial contexts, offering deep insights into the burial rites and beliefs of ancient Sardinian cultures. The exhibition includes a variety of statues dating back five thousand years, testifying to the rich cultural production of the island in prehistoric times.

The museum offers a unique opportunity to explore the mysterious evidence of Sardinia's ancestors. The carefully presented exhibits allow visitors to trace the development of human settlement and artistic expression in the region. It is a place that invites visitors to discover and understand the origins of Sardinian identity.
