The Archaeological Museum in Desenzano del Garda is dedicated to Giovanni Rambotti. He was a scholar who discovered the prehistoric settlement of the ‘Polada culture’ (2000 BC). The museum is sited close to the lake and has prehistoric and Bronze Age exhibits from the town and surrounding area. The finds are displayed in cabinets and include the first settlements of this region from the Mesolithic Age (8000 BC) and the Bronze Age (2000 BC). One of the most important exhibits here is the oldest plough in the world, discovered in a Lavagnone peat bog.
