Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia

The Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia (National Museum of Etruscan Art) is home to an important collection of pre-Roman art, mainly Etruscan works. Founded in 1889, the collection is exhibited at the Villa Giulia, named after Pope Juluis III, for whom it was constructed in 1551.

The idea for a museum that would put together all the pre-Roman antiquities of Latium, southern Etruria and Umbria belonging to the Etruscan and Faliscan civilisations was part of Felice Barnabei's objective of creating an archeaological profile of the area, to study the pieces found in excavations and to exhibit them to the public.
