The Regional Archaeological Museum of Aidone is an archaeological museum in the province of Enna (Italy); it is housed in the Capuchin Convent annexed to the church of the same name. It was inaugurated in the summer of 1984 and houses the finds of over thirty years of excavations at Morgantina, ordered according to chronological and thematic criteria.
In the three rooms there are materials from the prehistory and protohistory of the city, coming from the village of Castellucci: axes of smooth basalt stone, tiny whorls and fragments of pottery worked without the use of the lathe, with essential linear engraved decoration.
The following Sicula city, from the early Iron Age, instead, belongs the achromatic pottery in keeled shapes, of red and brown dough, which finds confirmation in the culture of Ausonio in Lipari.
