The museum has many antique sculptures, sarcophagi, and coins of various ancient states. Part of the exhibition is dedicated to Troy: it shows the stages of the city's development and the artifacts found during its excavations. One of the halls explains in detail how archaeologists work. The museum has two floors, and the building is large, so if you look at everything in detail, you can spend several hours or more. There is a free audio guide for your phone, which also has the Russian language, but there are several nuances with its installation. Inside the museum, near the turnstiles, there is a stand with a QR code, with which you can download an audio guide application to your phone. You can do this if you have a mobile Internet connection, and there is no free Wi-Fi on the museum's territory. Next, using the audio guide application, you need to scan the QR code from the entrance ticket to the museum, and then you can download the actual audio guide files. A ticket to the museum can be purchased either at the ticket office near the entrance, or online on the official website. The cost in January 2025 is 15 euros.

I love archaeological museums, this is a rather modest exposition with a wealth of archaeological sites there. However, this in general could not have forced me to reduce the number of stars if not for the situation at the box office. We were deceived. First, they sold headphones for the audio guide, which we did not ask for. As a result, 700 lire was overpaid. They didn't figure it out because of the queue behind us. But when we found the Internet, we found out that we had been deceived twice. We paid 1,000 lire in cash. But we didn't have 700 more. That's why we decided to pay with a card. 1,700 were debited from the card. There was no way to detect it right away. As a result, a trip to the museum for two cost 2,700. Be careful. Even in state institutions they try to cheat.
