The Albano Museum is housed in the charming neoclassical Villa Ferrajoli, set in the midst of a park of giant magnolias.

The main feature of the façade is a tetrastyle portico topped by a pediment containing a fine terracotta relief that illustrates the myth about Ceres teaching Triptolemus the art of agriculture.

The delicate paintings that decorate the interiors are the work of Giovanbattista Caretti and are inspired by classical and Renaissance art.

The Museum exhibits are on display in twenty-three rooms altogether, on all three floor of the building, and include archaeological finds that cover all periods from the Palaeolithic to the Middle Ages.
