The also museum contains - the Apollo of Veii, an over-life-size painted terracotta Etruscan statue of Apollo from Veii, the Cista Ficoroni, a bronze urn with paw feet, mounted by three figures, dating from the 4th century B.C. A reconstructed frieze displaying Kreugas eating the brain of his enemy and the Etruscan-Phoenician Pyrgi Tablets.
