A first Antiquarium of the city of Marino (in the Roman Castles area) was set up in 1904 after the discovery of many archaeological finds in the nineteenth century. It sa was destroyed by the Anglo-American air raid in 1944 and the Antiquarium was then replaced by the City Museum "Umberto Mastroianni" of Marino.
The finds and others were then collected in a new museum located in the former deconsecrated Gothic church of Saint Lucia of which the fresco of a saint remains visible.
Among the most notable works, a marble relief with Medusa's face that became the symbol of the museum.
