Stand face-to-face with two of the ancient world's greatest masterpieces — the Riace Bronzes — guided by a dedicated archaeologist in a private session at Italy's finest Magna Graecia museum. An utterly unmissable encounter with 2,500-year-old Greek genius.
What to expect
Your expert guide meets you at Piazza De Nava, steps from the port, and escorts you through the museum's chronological galleries before arriving at the climate-controlled hall housing the Bronzes. You'll examine the warriors' inlaid ivory eyes, copper lips, and silver teeth up close — details invisible in photographs. The guide contextualises the entire Magna Graecia civilisation that produced them, making the encounter genuinely transformative. Allow 2.5–3 hours for a thorough private visit.
Good to know
The museum is a 5-minute walk from the port — no transfer needed. Book your private licensed guide in advance via the Reggio Calabria tourist guide association or a local concierge. Museum is open Tue–Sun; confirm all-aboard time and allow 30 minutes' buffer. Admission tickets purchased at door or via CoopCulture online.
