Florence Archaeological Museum
The Florence National Archaeological Museum houses some of the collections of Etruscan art and Roman remains, which is in the Palazzo della Crochetta. The museum was established in 1870, and transferred to the current location in 1880. One of the interesting sections of the museum is the Egyptian collections, which has the second largest collection of Egyptian artifacts in Italy, next to the Museo Egizio in Turin.
The museum was first opened in 1855. Today, it contains more than 14,000 artifacts in nine galleries and two warehouses. Collections contain mummies, amulets, bronze statues, a New Testament papyrus and other historical artifacts.
