MuSa - Museo di Salò

We caught a Gustav Klimpt special exhibition there! Most pleasantly surprised. It’s a great museum, and blissfully air conditioned too. An interesting, calm and cool visit. What more could you want.

A little bit of everything regarding this region as well as Italy as a whole. Science, art, and history exhibitions are nicely curated with a good balance.

I did not expect such variety in the exhibits and i enjoyed it very much. Also not busy at all.

Very nice surprise. Small museum full of interesting paintings and divers expositions. You need 2 hours at least to see it all. A very interesting expo of Mussolini at the 4 floor. I deeply recommend this museum.

Very informative displays with details in Italian and English.

Top museum. Fantastic displays of artefacts and art. Imaginatively laid out and engrossing. We spent all morning there.

Please recognise the helpfulness of my review, by pressing the LIKE button! We made the drive from Garda to Salo on 18 August 2017. After spending a little time on the lakefront enjoying the scene and the ice cream, we made the museum (MuSa) the focus of our visit. There were a number of exhibitions. The ones which I liked best were the Museum of Madness, the exhibition about Gaspara the violin inventor and the exhibition about Mussolini and the second world war. It was okay to take photographs without flash. The madness exhibition included a painting by Adolf Hitler. It felt really unnerving looking at a painting that he had worked on. None of us liked the painting. The exhibition on Gaspara was relatively small, but it was interesting - Salo claiming that Gaspara was the inventor of the violin. The exhibition about Mussolini and the war was fascinating. It included many sculptures and artwork, posters and photographs. Salo was where Mussolini last ruled Italy albeit as a puppet state, and it was also on Lake Garda where Mussolini met his grisly end. We enjoyed a few hours in the MuSa and we all felt it to be a worthwhile and thought provoking visit.

Excellent and varied gem of a museum. Mussolini to modern art and local and Italian history. Well worth a visit if in the area.
