Definitely a must see. I enjoyed a lot this museum, it has very rich collections, explaining the history of Taranto since the first humans are known to be there up to medieval times. Fascinating. Totally worth. I spent 2h and could have been an extra one. Descriptions are in Italian and English. I trust Italian nationals can download an app for further explanation (apparently only available for Italian phone numbers, or at least I was told so at the entrance).

And impressive collection of ancient artifacts. It’s mine boggling to think some of these relics date back to the six - eighth century BC. Beautifully displayed with good lighting and historical commentary. It would be nice to have audio guide option.

Brilliant. Stunning. Sublime. The rooms and their collections are intelligently and artfully and skillfully designed. Super nice staff. Breathtaking. What a wonderful experience.

Go here to see the most remarkable ancient jewelry, and exquisite Roman mosaics. There's so much more to enjoy, but those two things stop you in your tracks. Taranto is a grim place in some ways, but the museum makes the journey well worthwhile.
