  • Palermo’s regional archaeology museum displays finds from archaeological sites all over western Sicily, from the Neolithic age through to the Roman period. Among Punic and Egyptian objects is the Palermo Stone (c.2700 BC) with a hieroglyphic inscription recording a delivery of 40 boat-loads of Sicilian lumber to an Egyptian Pharaoh. There are also numerous Etruscan artifacts, Greek vases and Greek and Roman sculpture, but the highlight of the collection are the Archaic and Classical metopes recovered from Selinunte (see Selinunte).
