A very interesting archeological with a special section at the third floor. You can also get a beautiful view of Viterbo from its top balcony During my visit to the beautiful city of Viterbo, I had the pleasure of exploring the National Etruscan located within the impressive Albornoz Fortress. As I stepped inside the fortress, I was immediately struck by the incredible architecture and rich that surrounded me. The fortress itself was a fascinating sight to behold, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as I wandered through its winding passages and expansive courtyards. The fact that it was originally constructed in 1354 by Cardinal Gil Alvarez Carillo de Albornoz, who was the general vicar of the Church domains, only added to its historical significance and charm. As I made my way through the museum's stunning collection of Etruscan artifacts, I was impressed by the intricate detail and exquisite craftsmanship that went into each piece. From intricate gold jewelry and delicate pottery to impressive bronze sculptures and beautifully preserved frescoes, there was no shortage of breathtaking treasures to discover. One of the highlights of my visit was the opportunity to learn more about the Etruscan civilization and its fascinating history. Through the museum's informative exhibits and interactive displays, I gained a deeper appreciation for this ancient culture and the significant impact it had on the development of Italy and the Mediterranean world. Overall, my visit to the National Etruscan was a truly unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Viterbo. The combination of stunning architecture, rich history, and remarkable artifacts make it a must-see destination for anyone interested in art, culture, and history. Nice to see more details to fill in the blanks on many of the Etruscan sites we have visited. Staff was very friendly. A great museum, lots of things to discover if you're interested in the Etruscans, especially. Very friendly and helpful staff, a great value for money Very interesting exhibition of the Etruscan's history. Best combined with the Etruscan museums in Tarquinia and Tuscania. Small but great! Loved seeing the Hercules like bowls and vases hahaha I only used half a morning to see everything and the outdoor parts are truly beautiful. What a beautiful museum! I had no idea how much of the "Roman" art and culture was established far before Rome was. Must visit if you want to understand the Etruscan history. This is a great mid size of Etruscan artifacts, in the city of Viterbo Good covering the Etruscans very well. An easy visit for those not too museumy in that it is not too large. For me the key finds were the 2500 years old decorated terracotta roof tiles, far better than anything produced today and the small statue of Demeter dug up from the actual temple it adorned only a few miles away. It's a nice regional museum. I really enjoyed it as a historian, but I'm sure most people will lose interest rather quickly. Highly recommended.
