PIMU – Picenworld Museum: the Epic of the Piceni through Multimedia in Ascoli Piceno

The PIMU – Picenworld Museum in Ascoli Piceno is an innovative and fully multimedia museum dedicated to the history and civilization of the Piceni, an ancient people who once inhabited the Marche region. Far from the concept of a traditional museum, the PIMU offers a sensory and interactive experience, ideal for engaging both adults and children in the discovery of this millenary culture.

A Journey through History with Technology

The museum uses cutting-edge technology to narrate the epic story of the Piceni. Visitors follow an experiential path enhanced by video projections, 3D reconstructions, augmented reality, and gesture recognition systems.

Through interactive screens, they can explore reconstructed Picene tombs, discover archaeological artifacts, and learn in a fun and educational way.

The exhibition is organized into thematic sections that highlight the most significant aspects of Picene civilization — from its origins to its social organization, from craftsmanship to religious practices.

The museum’s mission is to make history accessible, engaging, and unforgettable, turning each visit into a true adventure through time.
