The Archaeological Museum of Colfiorito was inaugurated in 2011 and contains a considerable series of finds relating to the civilization of the Plestini, an Umbrian population who settled in pre-Roman times on the Colfiorito plains. The museum tells the story of these people from its origins to the Romanization, through exposition of materials from sanctuaries, burials, settlements and cities. The exhibition itinerary takes place on the three levels of the structure, dealing with all the main themes inherent to the ancient history of the area: material culture, forms of occupation of the territory, religion and cults, geomorphology, the history of research, archaeological sites and so on.
