Lonely Planet review for Museo Archeologico Regionale

North along Via Roma, the Museo Archeologico Regionale, in a Renaissance monastery, displays some of Sicily’s most valuable Greek and Roman artefacts. The galleries surround a gracious courtyard and display treasures from Selinunte such as a series of decorative friezes depicting classical scenes, full of humour and energy. In one, Perseus gleefully beheads the Gorgon, and the Cercopes twins, hanging upside down, laugh at the sunburnt bum of Hercules. There’s good wheelchair access.
