The Museum, named after Giovanni Rambotti, eminent citizen famous for his collections of artifacts from Polada pile-dwelling, was opened in 1990. The museum, because of his geographical position in an area rich in Bronze Age evidences, offers a wide survey of the prehistoric cultures of the Benacense district.
The museum is situated in the cloister of an ex-monastry (S. Maria del Carmine, 1472, Bearfooted Carmelitans Order). The contiguous church, nowadays deconsecrated, was named after S. Maria de Senioribus. The cloister, rectangular in shape with 5 arches on each side end 20 columns, was finished al least in 1547. The building, now of public property, was renovated in 1984.
