Paolo Orsi Regional Archaeological Museum
Syracuse's archaeological museum is one of the most extensive in
all of Italy, preserving relics and remains from the Greek, Roman
and early Christian eras of Sicily's history. The museum building
itself is ultra-modern, consisting of glass-and-steel exhibition
halls connected in a hexagonal shape. The exhibits cover a vast
range, from the skeletons of prehistoric animals to the renowned
Landolina Venusstatue.

Admission
Language
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is
understood in the larger cities but not in the more remote parts of
the country.
Money
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into
100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain
Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are
widespread. Travellers cheques can be exchanged with ease in the
large cities, not so in the smaller towns. Credit cards are
accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities.
Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than
casas de cambios.
Opening Times
Open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 6pm; and on
Sundays from 9am to 1pm
