The museum of finds from Paestum, with the Tomb of the Diver and the metopes from the sanctuary of Hera.

Next to the archaeological area, the museum tells the story of Poseidonia and Paestum through the finds from the excavations. The most famous piece is the Tomb of the Diver, with the young man diving painted on the cover slab.Also worth seeing are the metopes from the sanctuary of Hera at the mouth of the Sele and the paintings from the Lucanian tombs. The visit is the perfect complement to the temples.
