    The National Archaeological Museum of Umbria, located in Perugia, Italy, offers visitors a comprehensive look at the region's rich history. Housed in a former convent, the museum showcases a wide range of artifacts from prehistoric times to the Roman era. The Etruscan collection is particularly noteworthy, featuring well-preserved pieces that highlight the importance of this civilization in Umbrian history. Visitors appreciate the chronological layout, which helps in understanding the historical context of the exhibits. The museum also houses an impressive collection of Roman artifacts, including statues, mosaics, and everyday objects. While the museum provides valuable insights into local history, some visitors note that more English translations would enhance the experience for international tourists. The building itself, with its historic architecture, adds to the overall ambiance. However, a few reviewers mention that the lighting in some areas could be improved to better showcase the exhibits. Despite these minor drawbacks, the museum is generally regarded as a worthwhile visit for those interested in archaeology and the history of Umbria.
