Museo archeologico nazionale di Parma

Il Archaeological Museum of Parma is divided into two sections. The one that houses the historical collections includes spectacular materials from Veleia, among which are the 12 marble statues of members of the Julio-Claudian imperial family (first half of the 1st century AD), remarkable Greek, Italic, and Etruscan ceramics, and the prestigious Egyptian section with sarcophagi, canopic jars, papyri, votive bronzes, and the important Magnarini Collection (429 scarab-seals dated from 2100 to 525 BC).
The rich medal collection is not normally open to the public.

The section that preserves the testimonies of the province of Parma includes prehistoric materials from the Paleolithic to the Bronze Age (important Neolithic finds, including some burials, and those from the “terramare” of the Bronze Age), protohistoric (Etruscans and Ligurians), Roman (statues, architectural fragments, mosaics, funerary inscriptions from Parma and the territory, and a small hoard of jewelry and coins from the 3rd century) and Lombard (jewelry from some graves).

It is possible to purchase a single combined ticket for all the Museums of the Pilotta Monumental Complex, which allows you to visit with a single ticket the Farnese Theatre, National Gallery, and Archaeological Museum. The single ticket office for all the museums of the Pilotta is located at the ticket office of the National Gallery.
