Possibly worth visiting the museum before the tombs (not essential) but might assist understanding if this is new to you. Make sure you get to the top floor, it’s worth it.

What a treasure! I definitely recommend this amazing museum. It probably hosts the richest collection of Etruscan art. You will dig into the past discovering their cults and their skills in working metals and rocks. The ticket (combined with the tombs is only 10 euros). The beautiful building of the museum is itself worth the price of the visit. I am not giving 5 stars because unluckily, the pieces at the museum are not well displayed. The narrative during the visit and the descriptions of the objects are missing. But worst of all, I didn’t see any indications in English. I’m saying this as an Italian, sorry but this is not acceptable in 2021!

With rich history and artefacts of value, this museum is worth your time if you find yourself visiting the tombs of tarquinia. Takes you back in time and gives u a glimpse of the rich Etruscan culture.
