The first room is dedicated to prehistory, with displays of objects from the Palaeolithic period to the Copper Age, including those found in the famous Grotta di Angera. In addition to the numerous original finds, a Tactile Table has been set up that allows all visitors to touch, smell and try some prehistoric techniques used at the time in the territory.

In the second room ​​Roman inhabited Angera is illustrated. There is numerous and significant evidence of the culture, religion and structure of the ancient vicus (local Roman adminstration), as well as coins and artifacts that attest to ancient trade relations with Central Europe and the Mediterranean. A section is dedicated to rare and fascinating organic and food remains, including the olla di Cislago, a pot still containing rye seeds, wheat and chestnuts. There is also the famous Panini di Angera, a bread based on the study of excavated Roman bread, which is now reproduced for consumption, and the village is second only to Pompeii in terms of modern production! 

Ample space is dedicated to the Roman necropolis, from which come numerous finds in glass, ceramics and metal, lamps, coins and small pieces of jewellery. From the early Christian cemetery there is a sixth-century marble slab with an inscription in Greek. It is the headstone of a merchant who lived and was buried in Angera but had been born in Syria. The finding confirms the great mobility of people in ancient times across the inhabited world. Under the portico of the ground floor, a beautiful Lapidarium has been set up with statues, altars and fragments of funerary monuments, which is also accessible to the blind.
