Amazing exhibition of Ancient Greek city spina. Don't loose the opportunity to see a large collection of exquisite Etruscan-Greek red-figure Attic terracotta vases, the museum testifies to the ancient archaeological history of the whole province!
This museum contains a range of Etruscan Amphorae, Kraters and otter interesting items from Etruscan tombs. The lighting is poor but good enough.
So many treasures from the earliest settlements in the Po Valley. The scale and quality of the artefacts displayed - especially the Greek pottery and the gold jewellery - is amazing. Surprising because we did not expect to find such a collection in a small (but wonderful and beautiful) city like Ferrara. The presentation of everything is exceptional.
Incredibile collection of Etruscan exhibits in the beautiful setting of a Renaissance Palace, - so much to see here, Renaissance frescos, fabulous Attic vases, gold and amber Etruscan jewellery, Would you believe that they have one of the largest collections of Attic vases here outside of Greece due to the trading that went on between the Etruscan town on Spina and Athens.
We were received very friendly and shown some very special thins. There is a exposition about the lost Etruscan town Spina which was very good.
Well planned and explained. The two prehistoric boats are impressive as are the gardens. There are some brilliant Greek black figure vases and these are of astonishing quality.
Exhibits well presented with good use of technology to help the display. Lovely garden and building.
The museum focuses on the Necropolis di Spina, between Ferrara and the sea in the delta of the Po. The findings are amazing and exceedingly well displayed in a lovely place in via Settembre. The Greeks were very influential and the restored pots, and the jewellery are astounding the finds trace through the Estruscan and Celtic influemces and one builds a good picture of the life of the people at the time. The map room is great with maps painted on the wall from different periods.
Impressive museum, very well organized. A lot of history from the origins of Italy. Many artefacts from the etruscan culture. This museum is prepared for all ages. Deserves to spend a long time in the museum. Beautiful gardens.
Interesting place. However closes at 5 PM and ticket fols are not very friendly. The first day we arrived in Ferrara we tried to go in the afternoon but we were too late
