Museo Claudio Faina, Archaeological museum in Orvieto, Italy.
The museum exhibits bronze statues, Etruscan artifacts, Greek vases, and Roman coins across multiple floors in Palazzo Faina, opposite the Cathedral of Orvieto.
Count Mauro Faina established the museum in 1864, later expanded through acquisitions from local excavations, including findings from the Crocifisso del Tufo necropolis.
The collections contain significant Etruscan objects, including the Venus of Cannicella statue and a warrior's head stone from the Temple of Belvedere.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM between April and September, switching to 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM from October through March.
Princess Maria Bonaparte contributed to the museum's initial collection by donating 34 ancient vases discovered in the Vulci necropolis.
