National Etruscan Museum, Rome: All year

The National Etruscan Museum is the home of Etruscan civilization located in the Villa Giulia in Rome.  Initially, the villa was constructed as a home for Pope Julius III.  During the unification of Italy, it became property of the Kingdom of Italy and was later established as a museum in 1889.

You can explore the antiquity and lifestyle of the Etruscans through excavations and admire ancient artifacts such as pottery, jewelry, and sculptures.  These treasures are a window into the life of the Etruscans.

The most stunning attraction is the Sarcophagus of the Spouses, a funerary monument of a bride and groom.  Some other interesting exhibits are of Apollo and the Centaur.  These marvelous artifacts date back all the way to the 5^th and 6^th century BC.

Being one of the most advanced societies, the Etruscans shaped Italian civilization and helped it evolve to become what it is today.  This museum is a must see exhibition as the Etruscans had a profound influence on Italy.

Visitors are encouraged to see the museum with a guided tour or on their own!
