Museo archeologico nazionale di Parma

The National Archaeological Museum of Parma contains collections from Roman excavations, Egyptian artifacts, and regional prehistoric findings across two exhibition floors.

Duke Filippo I of Parma established the museum in 1760 to preserve discoveries from the Roman settlement of Veleia, making it one of northern Italy's first archaeological institutions.

The museum exhibits twelve marble statues of the Julio-Claudian imperial family from the 1st century AD, alongside Greek, Italic, and Etruscan ceramic collections.

Located in the Pilotta Complex, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM, with combined tickets granting access to multiple cultural institutions.

The Egyptian section displays 429 scarabs from the Magnarini Collection, dating between 2100 and 525 BC, along with sarcophagi, canopic jars, and papyri.
