When I begin to talk enthusiastically about the archeological museum in Reggio Calabria, I usually just get blank stares. If I show a photo or two of the famous Bronzes of Riace, interest piques. Once I have my listener’s attention, I introduce the rest of the museum’s collection.
Ranging from the prehistoric through the Roman period, the exhibits have recently been rearranged due to a complete renovation of the building. Since its reopening, the museum goes by different names and also sports the acronym MArRC, which I suppose is a hip way of saying Museo Archeologico Reggio Calabria.
