Contained in the museum are numerous archaeological objects which came to light during a long period of excavations.

The collection includes, for example, a collection of portraits of famous people from ancient Ostia, including philosophers and members of the royal family, such as busts depicting Asclepius and Volcacius Myropnous,[1] a portrait of Faustina the Elder and the head of Trajan.

There are other examples on display of great interest, such as small groups in marble depicting Cupid and Psyche and other subjects, and in another section of the museum, sarcophagi and reliefs.

On display are also examples of wall paintings from different burials and emblems of polychrome mosaics, such as the Christ Blessing.

These works of great historical and artistic value, are then supported by a collection of minor works such as crafts, glass, and even teaches some at the shop, and some interesting facts, such as the marble slab found in the temple of Bellona, on which are carved two pairs of feet opposite, probably a votive object.
