Very interesting museum. Placed in the centre of the town, it's well kept and extremely interesting place. My whole family enjoyed the visit. Lightening can be improved. Children can enter the museum for free but some kind of children activity could help them to be...More

As something of an archeology buff, I was excited to see this museum, reputed to be one of the most important in Italy, and was not disappointed. The Greek and Roman collection is excellent and comprehensive – especially the Greek. But it was the Bronze...More

Amazing artefacts

Could hardly believe the number and quality of the artefacts on show, plus good English explanations. Start at the top if possible (oldest) and work your way down. Only floors 1 and 3 were available when we went, open for an hour each at a...More

Very impressive local museum with great artifacts

The museum is organized chronologically around the different civilizations that have lived and settled in Taranto and around Puglia from thousands of years ago to present. Comprehensive and very interesting, an extremely well done and well maintained museum.

More than Anticipating

Wow. The guidebooks haven’t really caught up with the wonders of the remodeled museum. The displays are really well organized (and in clear English!) and provide an in-depth look at burial practices in Taranto from Greek through Roman times. I was skeptical paying the 8...More

Interesting

Took longer than expected, a good way to spend a couple of hours. Staff were helpful. Would have liked an English book with some highlights, but only expensive Italian books available.
