How Louis Vuitton’s Master Perfumer Captured Southern Italy in a Bottle
"For him, eating grilled fish with olive oil and lemon on the terrace of the hotel La Lampara in Reggio Calabria, contemplating the ancient Greek bronzes at the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia, or taking in the rugged landscape is all done in the name of research."
A very well-kept museum with beautiful pieces and interesting exhibitions that allow you to learn about Calabria's history. Needless to say, the Bronzi di Riace are a must-see. Our guide was wonderful and explained everything clearly and in detail (my tour was in Italian). You can't miss this place if you're in Reggio!

Very nice museum. Not big, but having impressive two bronze statues from the Greek period in Calabria. Those are two out of totally five survived statues. Manybother interestibg expinats to be seen. You will need about two hours, maximum three, to explore the museum. However worthwike to visit it!

The museum is very well organised and it’s very welcoming. There’s a lot to learn. The statues are also very beautiful but it was very disappointing to see they’re in a room with white walls and no context whatsoever (contrary to the rest of the museum). Good thing we read about them before visiting because otherwise we wouldn’t know exactly what we were looking for.

Really worth the visit, particularly enjoyed the smiling figurines on the bottom floor that seemed to be quite typical of the region. Well curated with a chronological structure starting from oldest period on the top floor to earliest, a lot of well preserved artifacts and historical context on these

The bronze statues are amazing. Admission is free on the first weekend of the month. It's an interesting place to learn a little about the history of Reggio Calabria.

Really interesting explosion about other bronze statues. I felt really immersed in the atmosphere. Also at some point I was the only visitor in that room, which felt very cool.
They even let me to come back to see Bronzi statues up close due to the fact it was closed for investigation and could see only through glass.

Beautiful modern museum and, of course, the Bronzes of Riacci, are the stars. They are quite incredible, just magnificent. More exciting than seeing the Mona Lisa or The Night Watch.

I visited this museum in Reggio Calabria while I was on vacation. The displays were beautiful and very well organized. I was very happy to see the descriptions of the displays in English. I was also very happy to see the I Bronzi di San Casciano. It was amazing! I highly recommend a visit to this museum in Reggio Calabria.

Our group went over to Reggio Calabria to see Bronze statues in the National museum. It was well worth the trip.
