Located in a building that skillfully preserves its residential character, the museum, the first archaeological museum of Elba, was opened in 1968 to house the finds uncovered during excavation campaigns that were taking place in those years across the island of Elba. These finds are among the oldest materials from Elban settlements, dating back to the earliest phases of the island's occupation in the Paleolithic.

The Archaeological Museum is organized chronologically, following the history of settlements from ancient to modern times in the western part of Elba and its maritime trade.

The collection includes many artifacts primarily from the Marciana area.

The I room is dedicated to stone tool artifacts from the Stone Age. This section attests to the presence of a series of villages located on Mount Capanne. The archaic Etruscan period is represented by findings from a series of burial tombs on Mount Capanne, which yielded bucchero pottery, Etrusco-Corinthian ceramics, Corinthian cups, and fibulae.

The II room is dedicated to Etruscan artifacts recovered from excavations at the fortress of Monte Castello di Procchio.

The III room is dedicated to the granite of Mount Capanne and the quarries that were exploited from Roman times to the Middle Ages.

The IV room is dedicated to two wrecks found in the bay of Procchio. The artifacts from the earlier wreck, a Roman merchant ship from the second half of the 2nd century AD, known as Procchio A, include Gallic, Spanish, and African amphorae containing wine, fish sauce, figs, and oil, as well as sulfur cakes and decorated glassware. Additionally, an ivory figurine originally covered in gold leaf (circa 180 AD) was found, depicting a young Dionysus, the god of wine, and Pan, the satyr god with horns and goat legs.

The findings from the second wreck (Procchio B), a French merchant ship from the 18th century, mainly consist of onboard equipment and objects: glazed ceramics, earthenware, and majolica, as well as a series of scissors in various sizes.
