Lonely Planet review for National Museum of Archaeology

Housed in the Auberge de Provence, the National Museum of Archaeology is well worth a visit, despite the fact that it is still undergoing renovation and expansion (long past its scheduled completion date). At the time of research, only the galleries on the ground floor (detailing the early Neolithic and Temple periods, c 5200 to 2500 BC) were open, but new displays are planned for the upstairs galleries (the lavish main hall currently houses temporary exhibitions), and these will explore the Bronze Age, Phoenician and Roman culture and the medieval period up to the modern period (c 2500 BC to AD 1800s).

    Meh

    lundbergt does not recommend this,

    If you are interested in the Neolithic period, then this is most certainly the museum for you. Otherwise; don't waste your money. It's basically a bunch of rocks with notes that tells you what it's supposed to be used for. E.g. "This is a hammer".
