The building, built in 1633 and once the seat of the Challant barracks and convent of the Visitandines, was given its current appearance in the 18th century. The museum shows evidence of human settlement in the Aosta Valley, from prehistory to the Middle Ages.

The museum is housed in a former monastery. Its modern architecture contrasts pleasantly with the objects from the time of the Roman occupation of the valley, including anthropomorphic columns, carved bracelets and pins, bronze death masks and tools. The facade stands out with its frescoes.
