Etruscan Museum "Claudio Faina"

If you pay a few euros more for the church entrance, you can visit this museum, which displays local historical relics. The visit takes about one to one and a half hours. If you like to explore history, it is recommended to take a walk here.

I loved the museum! It’s small but mighty. It has a wonderful collection in a beautiful setting. And it was not crowded at all. And the view out the window seeing the Duomo is a highlight in itself. There are also gorgeous Etruscan vases, as well as a wonderful coin collection. I do wish there was a bit more information about the history of the work itself.

Another of the sites included with the Orvieto Carta Unica. A collection of Etruscan artifacts began by Count Faina has become a formal museum. A large collection of coins is displayed in several galleries, as are earthenware items. The Civic Museum of Orvieto is also housed here on the ground floor. Much of the building has accessibility elements for wheeled travel (walker, stroller, wheelchair) - an elevator and ramps. A quiet, peaceful visit was our experience. Steps from the Duomo, it's really worth a stroll across the piazza. April 15, 2024 C & J

Really interesting with beautiful views of the Duomo. Also the guys working at the information desk were extremely nice and helpful - very much appreciated!! I didn’t have much time there but plan to go back maybe on not such a hot day. One tip though - use your google translate for description of pieces if you don’t speak Italian - easy

A museum without any interactive elements, full of showcases with old exhibits. I'm sure we can do better. I do not recommend a visit with children, except for the children's corner there is nothing for them. Most of the descriptions of the exhibits are only in Italian, but compared to other Italian museums there are at least some English texts.

Located on Piazza del Duomo, opposite the cathedral. Etruscan and Hellenistic works. Many Etruscan pieces and a floor of coins.

Beautiful quiet space which is well laid out and has some nice views upstairs. I came to learn more about the Etruscans and their history. Very little in English about them, mostly they discussed who the museum founders were, why and how they chose to display their works, which span many centuries and cultures. Gave them 5 stars for kindness above and beyond. Left my Rx sunglasses in the museum and they emailed me and set up a service they could use to mailed them back.

Uncrowded, self paced, and fair price. Clean bathrooms too.
