    I highly recommend visiting this museum with guide, Michele, who has such great knowledge and passion for the history. Michele had me in awe and had me excited learning about Roman history, the displayed artifacts, Taranto, Italy, Puglia region, etc. He interpreted information to me in English and I was very thankful. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to soak it all in. This is an incredible museum and not to be missed when in Puglia! Enjoy!

    Museum is open until 19:30. We arrived at 18:45 and were warned that there was a lot to see, and that we wouldn’t have enough time but decided to go in anyway and whizz round. There IS a lot to see, very interesting and with English translations, we regretted not allowing more time. However, by 19:10, staff were screaming “USCITA! USCITA!” at us and we were forced to leave, having paid €9 each for 25 minutes of viewing with staff trailing us. Lesson learned.

    In my opinion one of the most beautiful museums we have in Italy. We took audio guide having a small child and not being able to do guided tour, but it is very intuitive to use and our older daughter was able to follow everything. Very nice also the interactive stations

    The beautifully decorated (and completely renovated since a previous visit) museum is very proud of its latest acquisition: a group of statues of Orpheus and two Sirens. They were sold in pieces as looted art to the Paul Getty Museum in L.A., but have been back in Italy since April 2023.
