paolo orsi archaeological museum (museo archeologico paolo orsi)印象
-
Quite large with lots to see. We only visited two of the five rooms. Well organized with tons of archeological finds from different areas and times. What was truly amazing was the amount of objects from very small to fairly large, which are intact! Others are quite complete after restoration work. I don't give it a five star because of the lack of cafeteria or similar place to take a break if you really want to see all of it.

This museum, my wife and I agree, is the only reason to leave the island of Ortygia while in Syracuse. We walked, and got lost twice trying to find our way via a map and local resident directions. A security guard at the museum just shook his head at two tourists who had walked there, and were walking back. The museum is one of the best of its type we have ever visited in all of Europe and the US, with amazing displays well-labeled, even for English-only speakers We spent hours here, and did not see everything -- we were too tired from the trek to get here to stay longer. Also, nothing to speak of as far as food in the area until you're almost back at Ortygia.

It is a pity that with all the artifacts they have in this museum they don't even have a map to help you navigate your way around it. The museum is nice but it was cold, they had no guides, no map, and even most of the explanatory signs were in English. Make sure you are well informed before you go because at the museum you will find no information whatsoever. Truly a pity.

This museum, as previous reviewers record is above average and well worth a visit.However, I would advise ONLY going if you like and appreciate archaeology, geology or art in antiquity. There are some stunning exhibits from earliest times on Sicily (esp. Siracusa district) varying from spear blades to almost perfect funereal pots and other burial artefacts.We saw pot designs and shapes we had never seen before and some of the decoration on artefacts was particularly fine. The descriptions are generally good both in English and in Italian but occasionally the English translations are missing! It is not difficult to find your way around if you follow the green arrows.

I thought it would be another Greco Roman exhibit. It was excellent. The highlights were the upstairs and coin exhibit

Particularly rich experience having already spent a week in the area thus familiar with locations referred to in the incredibly rich and comprehensive display; well presented with chronological overview followed by focus on different locations. Superb...

On a Sunday, in January, the museum says it is open... but it is closed. No explanation. You get a shrug when you ask ... As it is posted as closed on Mondays, there goes our long-awaited visit.The same goes for the Archimedes museum in Ortigia. Very disappointing, and the nagging feeling that frankly, no one cares!

One of the better antiquity museums I have been to. It seems that Sicily was peopled by multitudes of different groups most of whom have their own areas for pottery, statuary and architecture in the museum. Some incredible pottery that was recovered intact as well as a vault room full of ancient coins and jewelry accompanied by descriptions of their discoveries is also there. Most of the displays include English translations.

The museum, named for Paolo Orsi, the archaeologist responsible for many of the early 20th century excavations in Sicily, contains an interesting collection of artifacts arranged to take you from the prehistoric eras through the Greek colonization onward. It is definitely worth a visit, especially after visiting some of the archaeological sites around Syracuse.

Beautifully displayed items of immense historical interest, well explained. Not the easiest of places to find one's way around thanks to some eccentric signage.As almost always in Italy, there was no helpful literature, no brochures at the front desk, no maps.
