I liked the variety of themed rooms on the history of different cultures. Many exceptional monuments. What I did not like was the little attention of a lady that there was no way to inform the printed guide or self-guide of the museum. She just told me to read a poster in Italian and English that I did not know because I did not know the language. Otherwise nice experience

Skip the queue feature well worth while, saved us more than an hour. The museum is superb. Too much to see in one day. As usual at least one of the displays we wanted to see was under renovation! A necessary hazard if you are to protect such precious artefacts.

    Magnificent museum, but the paper guide wasn't available, so I had to buy it for 4 people for a non-existent 18 euros... I would have preferred to give it to a needy person...
