Neverthless paestum can offer to its visitors not only the magneficent temples but also many treasures brought to light during excavations which began early 1900 and one of the most famous piece of art is the "tomb of the diver". This incredible painting who is a testimony of ancient magna grecia was found in 1968. The tomb together with many others beautiful and precious treasures are kept in the museum of paestum that’s why you can’t leave the site without seeing it.
The museum is located very close the archaeological site so just right across the street.
