"Take away the canals and Venice wouldn't be Venice. The Museo Storico Navale, a naval history museum, might not be as opulent as the Doge’s Palace or as thought-provoking as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection , but its 42 exhibition rooms reveal how the city's waterways are central to its identity. The vessels at this museum are gondolas as you’ve never seen them before. The bottom floor displays port dioramas and naval artillery; the other four floors showcases artifacts, antique ships, and Italian naval memorabilia." - Jenna Scatena
