Just a few more weeks and the Mandas Archaeological Museum will be a reality. It will be called MA.H.MU and will be born in the former building in Piazza IV Novembre, where the works aimed at converting the building that has just been restored by the Municipality into a structure suitable for displaying the archaeological finds found in the area are continuing unabated.

«The aim of the initiative is to promote awareness of the town's historic heritage and ensure the best conditions for public use and enjoyment», says Mayor Umberto Oppus who, faced with the almost completed layout, speaks of «a dream that comes true for so many Mandarins".

The new museum will house some of the finds found in the various excavation campaigns carried out in the numerous Nuragic areas scattered throughout the territory, panels will also be set up with the reconstruction of the ancient Mandas. These are shards, domestic objects and funerary furnishings kept for a long time in the warehouses of the Archaeological Superintendence of Cagliari. Finds that date back to the Nuragic era but also to the Roman period. "We requested an inventory and an analytical list of all assets, it is a historical heritage of great cultural and identity value", underlines the deputy mayor Umberto Deidda.

And that's not all: the archaeologists of the Superintendency have prepared the project for the reopening of the research and scientific investigation site in the Su Angiu nuragic area (also called Bangiu), considered one of the most important nuragic sites in Trexenta for its size and structure. Inside, several finds have been found which attest to the continuous presence of man starting from the Nuragic period: the highlight is the bronze votive vessel kept in the Archaeological Museum of Cagliari which the city council would like to exhibit, at least for a few days (the dream would be for the inauguration), in the new museum structure.
