Like other collections, the Archaeological Museum has its origins in the collections of the Grand Dukes, both Medici and Forensi, whose works of art were initially, kept in the Uffizi. The museum is divided into three sections: the topographical museum of Etruria, the Etrusco-Helletian-Roman Antiquarium and the Egyptian collection. The collection, which has Etruscan civilization at its heart, was begun by Cosimo the Old (15th Century), but was enlarged particularly by Cosimo I and in the 18th Century by Cardinal Leopold. The Egyptian section was created by Lorena and is mostly made up of archaeological finds which were recovered during a Franco-Tuscan expedition at the beginning of the 19th Century. The Austrians increased the size of the Etruscan collection and it was studied in its entirety by their experts. The museum also contains glass, gems, Greek ceramics and a numismatic collection. In the garden, Etruscan tombs and funeral monuments are reconstructed. Admission: EUR 4 (without reservation), EUR 3 (with reservation).

Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
The Etruscan collections at the Museo Archeologico is a great way to picture the art and culture of ancient Italy. Defined by large figurative works, the Etruscian art was more inclined to bronze and ceramic sculpture, along with mural paintings. The Chimera of Arezzo, statue of the Arringatore, statue Mater Matuta and the sarcophagus of Laerthia Seianti and Amazons are some of their best seen works on display at the Museo Archeologico.
Greek Collections at the Museo Archeologico
Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009
Greek Collections at the Museo Archeologico, is worth a visit for the beautiful milestone in Greek pottery that stands there. The Vase François, 66 cms in height, is known for the brilliant black-figure work it possesses. Apart from this the cups by the Little Masters, sculptures of Apollo and Apollino Milani, Archaic marble kourois and other fine art pieces are also a true draw.
