When Florence was capital of the Kingdom of Italy in 1870, Victor Emanuel II instituted the "Etruscan" Museum alongside the "Egyptian" one, on the premises of the Monastery of Sant'Onofrio (known as Fuligno) in Via Faenza. In 1881 the collections were moved to Via della Colonna, where they turned out to be essential for the Royal Archeological Museum. The current plan displays a decent piece of the Medici-Lorraine assortment of Etruscan, Greek and Roman antiquities, which had previously been shown in the Uffizi Gallery, and some of the objects from the Etruscan geological section of the Museum, harmed during the surge of 1966 and subsequently restored.
