Well, I was very disappointed because the bronze doors from the Baptistry were being restored so were out of exhibit. But what was there was very impressive. I had not been in the museum in years and it has been through much renovation and improvements. Worth doing but maybe at the bottom of the priority list if the doors are... More

The guards are enormously friendly and helpful, eager to share their love of the museum's contents with visitors who ask. A true treasure not to be missed. More
