The Museum is the heir of the 'Museo Popolare di Storia e d'Arte Braidese' (People's Museum of local History and Art), which was founded by Euclide Milano in 1919 and located in the current Museo Craveri. The Museum is now housed in Palazzo Traversa: a historical building that dates back to a late-gothic period around the mid XV century. Over time, the building has undergone alterations and changes of ownership until it was given to the municipality of Bra, that restored it in the XX century. The Museum has now an archaeological section dedicated to the roman town of Pollentia (together with the latest findings from late-antiquity and medieval age) and an historical and artistic sectionwith local work of art from the XVII to the XX century: both of the sections represent different aspects of the local history.
