The Egyptian holdings include a portion of the Book of the Dead and bas-reliefs from the tomb of Horemheb, followed by replicas of well-known Greek and Roman statues, plus a peaceful central courtyard littered with ancient milestones from Via Emilia. The next floor is filled with the museum's impressive Etruscan collection (crowded into glass cases à la the 19th c.), including remnants from Bologna's own beginnings as the Etruscan outpost Felsina. Among the burial items and other artifacts is a bronze urn from the 5th century b.c., the Situla di Certosa, decorated with a depiction of a ceremonial procession.
