Chiusi is a town full of history and culture as well as an important archeological centre at an international level. It has Umbro-etruscan origins. It experienced a period of great expansion between the VII and V centuries BC; afterwards, it was under the Roman influence. Since the beginning of the XVIII century Chiusi has kept drawing its attention to its Etruscan origins and seeking the remains of its ancient and glorious civilization. Since the XIX century very important tombs have been discovered. However, excavations were not always undergone only by archeologists and scientists, but, sometimes, by tombarolis in a hasty and damaging way. In 1870 the first section of the Museum was set up with some objects coming from tombs, and then enlarged by new gifts. At the beginning of this century, the Town Museum has began being built; in 1932 the rooms were enlarged. The Museum was damaged during the Second World War and owned by the State in 1963. Its present setting, open in 1992
