What to expect
Your guide meets you at your hotel and takes you to the museum entrance. Over two hours, you'll navigate at a measured pace through ancient galleries, stopping at significant pieces whilst your guide unpacks their provenance and meaning. The Etruscan section reveals a civilisation that predates Rome; the Egyptian display spans dynasties and burial practices. You won't see everything—the second floor and Gem Corridor are closed—but you'll absorb the highlights without feeling rushed. Expect crowds in high season, though your reserved access smooths entry.
