Etruscan and Roman Jewellery Rooms

These paired rooms reward a close look at Etruscan and Roman jewellery. Small pieces of goldwork provide a change from the museum’s tomb reconstructions and large bronze displays.

Etruscan and Roman Jewellery Rooms

Why go

The interest is in precision at a small scale. Putting jewellery from Etruscan and Roman contexts near each other makes it possible to compare traditions without losing sight of each object’s setting. The rooms also show another side of ancient material culture: personal adornment rather than public monuments or funerary architecture.

What to look for

  • The rooms gather jewellery from Etruscan and Roman contexts.
  • Fine goldwork rewards close viewing.

Useful to know

  • Slow down for the small objects; they are easy to pass after larger displays.
