Museo Archeologico di Olbia

Went here on a Tuesday and didn't have many people. They have audio guides in English and at the reception they also speak English. You don't have to pay, but need a (free) ticket for the audio guides. Very interesting museum and great artifacts! Definitely recommend visiting.

First of all I am giving 4 stars because I reserve 5 for places like the Louvre or the Uffizi. This museum has the reconstruction of the original Vandals boats that invaded Olbia in 450 AD. In the cases there are also unique and interesting pieces. On top, the museum is centrally located, it is free and free audio guides are also offered.

One of the 40 Roman ships burned and sunk in Olbia's harbour by invading Vandals in 455 AD has been raised and the charred hull is now is on display in the Museo Archeologico di Olbia at Olbia, Sardinia, Italy. The ship's rudder hangs to the left. Also on display is an inscription with Punic lettering discovered locally. It's thought to be the dedication of a building.

The building is interesting inside. As with most archeology museums it's best to have an interest in the items being displayed. Unlike many museums it is not full of stuff but everything is well presented... remains of ships, pottery, coins, fertility artifacts.

Beautiful and architectonically interesting museum! Olbia's rich history and archaology well presented, goes beyond the traditional old-school archaeological museum. Free entrance (including audio guide).

Big building, nice and interesting artifacts and a wonderful story about the city and the island. The front desk staff were so kind a helpful. The views at the top of the building are fantastic.

Not bad, but nothing special as well. Worth visiting since the whole tour should take around 15-20 minutes. It's great that is for free and with free tour guide speaker as well.

Easy to find. Fantastic remains of Roman boats. Lovely architecture of the building and can go up on the roof for good views. It is free as is the car park next to it.
