Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia houses some of the world's most important sculptures and artifacts from Etruscan civilization. This 16th-century palace, formerly the property of the pope, contains objects from some of Italy's oldest civilizations. Examine ancient ceramics, jewelry, and tools while learning about the history of this highly advanced pre-Roman civilization. The most famous treasure on display here is the terracotta funerary monument Sarcofago degli Sposi, depicting a married couple reclining together at a banquet. In between looking at ancient objects, you can visit the villa's peaceful grounds or restaurant.

Really liked this museum. The captions of the objects on display are only in Italian, but there are plenty of panels in every room written in English. On the second floor the aircon could not be felt, so it was boiling! Other than that, the museum is big and interesting: many everyday objects from thumbs and even the reconstruction of two burial chambers. We got to enter for free (still you have to collect your free ticket at the entrance) as it is possible to do every first Sunday of the month. Worth visiting!

This was one of the best representations of the Etruscan culture of any museum we have seen, in Italy or anywhere else. An amazing assortment of grave goods pots and shreds. Jewelry was mind-boggling and it's the detailand condition. Beautiful location with lovely greenery very helpful staff and very reasonable prices, you must stop for any fan of the culture
