The room furniture is limited to a beautiful Veronese console of the half of the XVIIIc. and to four paintings of the XVIIc representing the myth of Flora, ascribed to Federico Cervelli (1638-1700), given to the Museum on the occasion of its opening to the public.

Eight glass cupboards present an anthology of the Museum archaeological collections: Etruscan-Italic, Paleo-Venetian and Roman small bronzes, excavation glassware, earthenware for home use.
Of rare beauty is the Peloponnesian bronze Kouros of the second half of the VI B.C., which two Etruscan statuettes of offerers come near for their quality, respectively of the VI and of the Vc. B.C.

Among the excavation glassware, exceptional for their state and dimensions, stand out a rare lagoena of the first half of the Ic A.D., and a hydria of the I-IIc A.D., both in transparent turquoise glass freely blown (Northern Italy).
