My favourite section is dedicated to life in the Paleo-Venetian period and showcases votive objects, pottery and steles, I particularly appreciated the in-depth explanations relating to the ancient alphabet used by the local population.
Most information panels are in Italian only, but audioguides are available.
According to mythical tradition, the ancient Veneto peoples, originally from Paphlagonia in Asia Minor, were led by Antenor, a noble Trojan advisor to King Priam, to the northern Adriatic coast.
In fact, small groups of people arrived in the area at several different moments in time, slowly giving rise to a new ethnic and cultural community (1st millenium BC).
Very little information is available about them, we do know much more about how and where they buried their dead, outside their settlements.
The museum displays a collection of the steles found on the most important tombs.
A curiosity: there's a lovely park right next to the Museum and the Scrovegni Chapel, the shape of the grounds is unmistakable, but very little remains of the Roman Arena that once stood there. Built in 70 A.D. and very similar in stile and size to the Arena in Verona, it was demolished during the Middle Ages.
Padova is a short train ride from Venezia-Mestre. It is mostly known for the Scrovegni Chapel (book in advance if you want to see it) and the Basilica di sant'Antonio. Piazza delle Erbe, dominated by Palazzo della Ragione, is well worth a visit, as well as Palazzo Zuckermann, the museum across the street from the Eremitani Museum.
