Going to get even better!
First off, we love all things Etruscan, therefore we loved the museum in Volterra. Yes, there are loads of sarcophagui but they vary and show the interests of their occupants or the Etruscan mythology, so I found them interesting. And the hauntingly beautiful statue of the young Etruscan boy is worth the price of admission. But we were allowed to peek at the street they are unearthing behind the gift desk! What a find! Can't wait to return and see what else they dig up!

Art on Urns, Funerary Focus, and History, Interesting.
This was a nice museum, and you can learn about the history of the Etruscans. The only critique would be that the entire museum focuses on the Etruscan burial boxes, or funerary urns. Beautifully and intricately decorated, yes, but that was really it? We spent about thirty minutes in the museum, and then were done. If funerary urns and boxes are your thing, this'll be heaven to you, if not? You'll think the price of admission was a bit much. ha.
