A world class museum on the level of the museum island in Berlin. I now know the cultural evolution of the area in detail. The bronzes were jaw dropping

I visited this museum in Reggio Calabria while I was on vacation. The displays were beautiful and very well organized. I was very happy to see the descriptions of the displays in English. I was also very happy to see the I Bronzi di San Casciano. It was amazing! I highly recommend a visit to this museum in Reggio Calabria.

Excellent historical display. The Riace bronzes are incredible to look at in person. The display of the newer discovery of the statues in San Casciano(2021-2022)were also amazing. Worth the extra fee.

In all honesty I’m not normally a museum person. But we visited The National Museum of Magna Graecia and can genuinely say it was a cultural gem and one not to be missed. We visited at 1pm on a Sunday in really warm weather, there was no queue to enter the museum and the staff were very helpful at every opportunity. The museum houses the iconic Riace Bronzes, two life-size bronze statues considered among the finest examples of Greek sculpture. I felt the measures you have to go through to enter the room they are in is a little extreme, but I’m not the expert, so I’m happy to do what ever is needed to preserve the sculptures. We paid the extra €3 to see the San Casciano Bronzes too and their story is equally if not more interesting too. Beyond the bronzes, the museum boasts a diverse collection of artifacts that provide insights into the daily life and beliefs of the ancient Greeks. I must have read a good 75% of the write ups on the artifacts and whilst I may not retain the information long term, I did find it pleasantly satisfying and interesting in the moment.

One of the best museums I've ever visited. The collection is really large and interesting. I have visited countless museums with greek collections, but this one has some very unique exhibits.
