Lonely Planet review for Museo Archeologico

Skip the middling collection of artefacts from around the ancient world and head straight to the museum’s Etruscan collection, gathered largely from the region around Florence. Poor labelling and clinical glass-front cabinets feel dustily Victorian, but the collection of statuary, ceramics and jewellery is excellent. Look out for the monstrous bronze Chimera – a part lion, part goat and part snake cast in bronze and considered one of the masterpieces of Etruscan art.
