This is a lovely museum that is located in the Piazza del Duomo and dates back to the 19th century. The museum building is an attraction in itself given the fantastic design and architecture. It faces the Duomo di Orvieto. The collections in this are the objects of excavations from the Crucifisso Necropolis, the Holy site of Canicella and the Belvedere Temple.

The collection includes a rich coin cabinet, prehistoric and protohistoric materials, buccheri, Etruscan Bronze and ceramic items, attic vases with red and black figures. Out of these the most beautiful are dedicated to Exekias, the main attic potter in the black figure technique. There is also a different section for kids.
