Founded in 1855 to promote historical studies of Valle d’Aosta, it is a prestigious place of documentation, provided with an archive and precious items, including Celtic gold coins and bronze bracelets, medieval wooden statues, 16th-century paintings, ceramic and glass ornaments, weapons and armour.

The rich collection has been transferred to Aymavilles Castle in order to be exhibited to the public and it will be open from 14 May 2022.

The academy’s seat in Gressan can be visited upon request and for research purposes only.
