Huge but most exhibits are for a more niche clientele. If you love Etruscan or Egyptian art, definitely check it out. Otherwise, not top of museum list.

Our teens love historical war stories and related museum and they thought that this was one of the best museum they has visited for a long time. But you need to be quite informed about the subject to really enjoy the time spent. As a regular vistor it was only an average experience.

Amazing! I loved this museum. There are so many different attractions and exhibitions to see here. Super kid friendly. There are attractions on Egyptian art, Medici art and coins, and lots of sculptures. I highly recommend this museum

I have never felt this scammed in my life. In most of the arts there was no explanation in English. In some rooms there was no light so we could barely read and see the arts. On top of that there was no A/C. We were close to faint from the heat. Also, the exhibition of the second floor was closed. It was all ridiculous!

An amazingly rich collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman antiquities as well as Egyptian findings in a renovated building with nicely explained historical highlights. Featuring also a buoyant garden with a tempting mandarine tree but it was closed at the time of our visit.

First of all, opening times are a bit strange, so do check before your visit.
We visited on a Tuesday morning, about 09:45 (opening time at 08:30).
Admission prices are very reasonable, considering the extent of the collection.
This is a vast collection and we spent about 3.5 hours immersing ourselves in it.
The collection covers Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman cultures, with a big focus on the Etruscans and Magna Graecia. I didn't know a lot about the Etruscans before my visit, but really enjoyed the artefacts and the curators' explanations.
Most of the texts are in English and Italian, you can also buy a guidebook in the gift-shop before entering the museum.
There were a few school-groups in the museum, but they moved along regularly and didn't delve into the deeper reaches of the museum. Most of the time, we were all alone during our visit, save the occasional museum employee.
The stars of the collection are several bronze statues (Chimera, Orator and Minerva of Arezzo) and significant ceramic pieces from Magna Graecia.
There is also a small, but very interesting, exhibit on the Medici connection to the museum. The garden is unfortunately closed to the public, despite being tantalisingly close at several points during the visit.
I can't recommend this museum enough to ancient history buffs and archaeology graduates, it is really worthy of your time and support, having several really significant bronzes and more Etruscan pottery than you've see in your life!

Admission is free if you buy the Uffizi Gallery 5 museum ticket, so we weren't expecting much, but were pleasantly surprised. The museum is quite large and has a vast collection of antiquities. This would also be good place to take kids and give them a break from all things renaissance. Impressive ancient Egyptian and Greek collections. We spent a lot more time in this museum than we had originally planned.

Make a point of visiting this museum to see life-size bronze statues of an Etruscan orator and the monstrous Chimera, among other treasures. But if you prefer the small and exquisite, visit the corridor upstairs where you can gaze closely at the ancient gems from the collections of the Medici. They are newly installed and well worth a leisurely tour. One of the best archaeological museums in all of Italy - which has many!

Not everything was interessting. A lot of vases and stuff. But the Egyptian stuff was really nice to see. If you get a 5 day museum ticket for Uffizi then this ticket is for free.
So if you wanna spend like 1 hour 1.5 looking around seeing nice things. I would recommend this.

This museum is very close to the Accademia and entry was included with my Uffizi 5 day pass so I decided to stop in. The hours vary and it is not open every weekend so best to check the times beforehand.
This place is huge. Plenty to see for those with a special interest in ancient history. The ground floor houses a temporary exhibit which consisted mainly of ancient Greek pottery and small bronzes. The second floor houses more Etruscan sculptures and a huge Egyptian collection containing numerous steles, sculptures, coffins, and even a couple of mummies. The top floor has a lot of Greek work including some rare bronze statues. The jewel and coin collection was closed in the day of my visit.
Many rooms have signs but it would have been better if more of the individual displays particularly the important pieces were better explained. There were some video screens set up but they did not display any content. The museum has an app but it keeps requesting an update and then crashes which renders it useless.
I would not have gone too far out of my way for this but it’s worth a visit if you are in the area.
