Museo Archeologico Nazionale di 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.

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.

In all honesty I’m not normally a museum person. But we visited The National Museum of Magna Graecia and can genuinely say it was a cultural gem and one not to be missed. We visited at 1pm on a Sunday in really warm weather, there was no queue to enter the museum and the staff were very helpful at every opportunity. The museum houses the iconic Riace Bronzes, two life-size bronze statues considered among the finest examples of Greek sculpture. I felt the measures you have to go through to enter the room they are in is a little extreme, but I’m not the expert, so I’m happy to do what ever is needed to preserve the sculptures. We paid the extra €3 to see the San Casciano Bronzes too and their story is equally if not more interesting too. Beyond the bronzes, the museum boasts a diverse collection of artifacts that provide insights into the daily life and beliefs of the ancient Greeks. I must have read a good 75% of the write ups on the artifacts and whilst I may not retain the information long term, I did find it pleasantly satisfying and interesting in the moment.

Excellent historical display. The Riace bronzes are incredible to look at in person. The display of the newer discovery of the statues in San Casciano(2021-2022)were also amazing. Worth the extra fee.

A world class museum on the level of the museum island in Berlin. I now know the cultural evolution of the area in detail. The bronzes were jaw dropping

The Bronze of Riace are amazing. The details on the hair and veins are impressive for creations going back 2500 years ago. The Magna Grecia museum has so many varieties of artifacts that it will cement your view of how advanced were were in the past.

The Riace bronzes are amazing. Be sure to watch the video on their restoration process. There are several floors of artifacts. There are two elevators besides the steps.

Probably the best archeological museum I've been to. The staff were so nice, especially the man in the gift shop who helped me buy a Riace bronze t-shirt. The exhibits are very very interesting, I particularly love how they're set out. The English translations have obviously been professionally translated unlike some other museums I've been to which meant I could fully understand and appreciate the exhibits, and of course the Riace bronzes were absolutely incredible. It's clear that the museum and it's staff are very proud to work here and you can absolutely see why, the standout gem of Reggio Calabria. Thank you for creating and maintaining a wonderful museum.
