MarTa Archaeological Museum Taranto tour: very impressive great gold artifacts
Overview
Step into history as your guide leads you through the National MarTa Archaeological Museum of Taranto, home to extraordinary collections of ancient art. The rooms host monumental tombs, soft stone carvings, necropolis pottery, and dazzling gold artifacts, showcasing the richness of past civilizations.
Begin the tour in galleries dedicated to marble sculptures from the Hellenistic period. Continue to sections with sculptures, mosaics, and inscriptions from public & private buildings. Admire the Carparo stone heads of the Roman era. Explore the pottery exhibit, featuring works from the Necropolis—pink clay vases with black figures depicting mythological and athletic scenes.
The highlight of the museum is the Ori of Taranto (Golds of Taranto) room, containing Greek-crafted gold objects, including the diadem & silver case of Princess Opaka Sabaleidas from Canosa. Conclude your tour with Roman mosaics, terracotta tools, and the numismatic collection, a true treasure of ancient artistry.
