The Ruspoli castle in Cerveteri holds what came out of the tombs of the Banditaccia: Greek and Etruscan pottery, grave goods and the exhibition of the hydriai of Caere.

The museum is in the Ruspoli castle, on Piazza Santa Maria, at the top of the old town of Cerveteri. It displays what came out of the tombs of the Banditaccia and other necropolises of Caere: Greek and Etruscan vases, bucchero, grave goods and objects of daily life. The park presents there the temporary exhibition Veder greco in Etruria, on the hydriai of Cerveteri.
