Discover the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze, a lesser-known museum of ancient treasures. Explore its Egyptian section and Roman galleries at an unhurried pace, away from Florence's busiest queues.
Full description
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze is split into sections that include a notable Egyptian collection and Roman material, and reviewers often call it a rarely mentioned little gem. Some areas were closed for renovation at the time of the reviews, but what remains is described as lovely, with school groups who behave respectfully.
The Egyptian displays draw particular praise, though one reviewer warns it gets hot inside. With crowds low and a visit of around 75 minutes, it works as a calm antiquities stop away from the busier art museums.

Reviews
It's a very nice little museum. Some of it is closed for renovations but the rest is lovely. The locals schools do use it for field trips but the kids are very respectful. It has a focus on Egypt with a nice collection of Etruscan bronzes.
