The National Archaeological Museum in Florence occupies the Palazzo della Crocetta, which the article describes as built in 1620 by Giulio Parigi for Princess Maria Maddalena, daughter of Ferdinand I de' Medici. It stands on Piazza Santissima Annunziata. The museum opened in 1870 in the Cenacolo di Fuligno and moved to this building in 1880. The article gives no style, dimensions or materials for the palace.
Its Egyptian section is the second largest in Italy after Turin's and holds more than 14,000 artifacts. Notable holdings include the Chimera of Arezzo, the Arringatore bronze and the François Vase.
The 1966 floods destroyed an Etruscan topographic museum from 1887. The Etruscan rooms were reorganized in 2006, and over 2,000 flood-damaged objects were restored. A section devoted mostly to Roman and Etruscan sculpture is at the Villa Corsini a Castello. The article gives the street number as 1 in the text and 9 B in the infobox.
