For families with children Halloween becomes an excellent occasion for programming a visit to Rimini City Museum and the surgeon’s house. As a matter of fact nowhere else in the world is there such a unique collection: that is to say a set of surgical instruments found in the house (domus) of a Roman doctor of the III century A.D. together with a collection of mortars, medicine containers, scales, measuring spoons and an original foot-shaped pot. Other treasures, such as the mosaic depicting boats in the port of Ariminum, have been found in Roman houses in the area. Works from the fourteenth century Rimini school of painters are wonderful to see. There are also masterpieces of the Renaissance Court, paintings of the seventeenth century, featuring artist such as Cagnacci, Centino and Guercino. Brightly coloured eye-catching posters are displayed in the area dedicated to commercial graphics by René Gruau, testimony to the creative arts of the 1900s, together with the Book of Dreams of Federico Fellini, on display in a dedicated room. The museum also has an Archaeological Wing to enable visitors to go through 40 exhibition rooms passing from the time of prehistoric man through to the end of Late Antiquity. Next to the City Museum, in piazza Ferrari stands the exceptional archeological complex of the surgeon’s house whit exhibits that span 2000 years of history, site of the most varied set of surgical implements from the Roman era ever found and known to us today.
