I took my kids as they are studying the Romans at school (age 12 and 14). Bit disappointed. It's such a huge place I expected it to have more content and be more imaginative. Very dry, definitely not for younger kids, lots of broken bits of ceramic and glass. The special exhibition donated by a collector was the highlight.

Very well kept museum with a collection of archeological finds from a lot of centuries BC to the Roman empire.

The collection is very interesting and pieces look very well maintained.
The museum holds very interesting events, classes and workshops. It also has a library, a children's area and a restaurant, located just to the side of the gift shop on the lower floor.
The museum is accessible and has ramps and elevators for wheelchairs and people with disabilities...
