Inside the site, at the far end, the museum holds the statues, portraits, sarcophagi and reliefs that came out of Ostia. It opens Tuesday to Sunday at 9:30 from April to 24 October and at 10:30 the rest of the year, so don't leave it until the end: in winter the last entry is at 15:00. Next to it is the excavations café. It has a ramp and can be reached by wheelchair from the ticket office.
