Description

Museo etrusco Guarnacci is one of the oldest public museums in Europe, founded in 1761.

Its collection includes more than 600 Etruscan funerary urns, depicting mythological, funerary and everyday scenes.

Among the most valuable exhibits are the famous 'Ombra della Sera,' a bronze figurine with an elongated shape that inspired contemporary artists, and the 'Urna degli Sposi,' a terracotta urn depicting an elderly couple at a feast.

This is a fascinating journey through the history and culture of the Etruscan civilization.
