"A Mysterious Civilization"

Housing an important collection of Etruscan treasures found mainly in graves and tombs, the National Etruscan Museum was once a splendid Renaissance villa, built for Pope Julius III. The Tomb of the Newlyweds is one of the most famous pieces here and was probably designed to contain the remains of a couple. There is a reconstruction of a temple in the garden, illustrating the Etruscans' love of detail. The water garden in front of the museum, decorated with mosaics, fountains, and statues, and the frescoes inside the colonnaded loggia, are worth noting. A recent piece is a 5th-century terracotta relief, which shows the Grecian influence on Etruscan art.
