Where is this museum?

I need help with the identification of this artefact and the museum that it holds. These are the rods and other parts of a collapsible umbrella dating to the 4th to 3rd century BC. The museum is obviously somewhere in Italy, but I cannot identify it. A backwards search for the image yielded no results.

I believe these maybe taken by caiusbeerquitius from this thread although the images are no longer there, the museum appears to be the "Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Tarquinia" (most likely) or "Museo Nazionale Cerite" both in Tarquinia... probably more correctly described as Etruscan the artifacts are likely from "La Necropoli di Monterozzi"...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867 |
