J	Jason Sioutis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The tour for the crypt requires a separate booking. We were not informed during the combo booking of 4 museums over this.
C	Cassandra Walker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I understand why this is the least visited National Museum; there is not much on offer here. Would save the 13€, I’m afraid. There are a lot of pots and info to read but not much to see really. I’m still not even entirely sure what we saw.
J	John Doherty on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The museum is sorted into floors demonstrating the various time peroids artefacts found on the site were uncovered. There are plenty of interesting things to see and it was good value at €15 for 4 museums around Rome.
A	Andrew Pestana on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were amazed by the archaeology and how far down the dig went. Be able to walk so close and seeing the different transitions from one era of the city to the next along with some of the artefacts on show was amazing, nice detailed descriptions too.
K	K Emm on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a very interesting museum if you take the archeological "tour" at the times listed at the ticket desk which is included in the price. The staff take you through a locked door to where there is a portion of an excavated street, some rooms, and an outdoor line of latrines.
D	Daggy Boy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As part of a combined ticket giving you access to 4 sites we though this was great value. Again it tells a roman story with artefacts from the immediate area including palazzo and churches going back centuries on display. The crypt reveals layers of history including some roads and cisterns and show the changes over time. Shame later incarnations of society in Medieval and Renaissance times failed to learn from history (what’s new?) when it came to water storage, hydraulics and sewerage management. Instead of learning from and improving it they buried it instead.
P	Paul Graves on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good, not great museum on the history of how Rome built on ruins. Interesting collection of items found while digging to put another building up.
A	Abigail Milovancevic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting place with a long history. Unfortunately, access to the underground part is halted. I recommend this to people who have already seen the big-name museums in Rome, and to people who like pottery.
