Volterra has some of Italy's best small museums. The extraordinarily large and unique collection of Etruscan artifacts at the Museo Etrusco Guarnacci is a treasure in the region. (Many of the other Etruscan finds from the area have been shipped off to state museums or the Vatican.) If only a curator had thought to cull the best of the 700 funerary urns rather than to display every last one of them.
