Museo archeologico nazionale — Attraction in Cagliari

Great presentation of unique archaeological finds. The museum had also added a lot of content to make it more accessible to people with a range of different meds, there are tactile displays, videos with subtitles and sign language (not sure which sign language, whether Italian or British, though). Some of the material wasn't presented chronologically which got a bit confusing at times, but they have obviously worked hard to update a lot of the displays fairly recently and it was a great experience.

The archaeological museum building looks new and the exhibition in the basement is organized chronologically from neolithic into bronze age and end with Middle ages. Many bronze warrior statues were very impressive. Here all the texts are both in Italian and English with many pictures and maps. Once you go upstairs to see the rest of the museum things become very confused, there's a mix of neolithic, Roman and nuraghic finds - with no clear pattern and no English explanations. On the top floor there's a exhibition with stone statues which has English descriptions, but it reads like more like poetry than a scientific explanation of the finds, so the context is lost to the visitor. Many displays were not functioning, although they looked quite new. Could have been made much better, now it looks like a quickly...
