18 Places To See Uncanny Specimens of Wax Anatomy

"Clemente Susini began working in a wax anatomical studio when he was only 19 years old. He wound up becoming the best wax anatomical modeler the world had ever known. The work in the Calagari museum consists mainly of his later models, which are considered to be some of his finest work. The “Anatomical Venuses,” full-length nude women with their insides displayed to the world, are perhaps the most famous of the models. Susini’s models, painstaking to produce and incredibly fragile, can be seen in only a few other locations throughout the world, including La Specola Museum in Florence, the Semmelweis Museum in Budapest, and the Josephinum in Vienna." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

A must-visit for anyone interested in ancient history. The museum offers a well-curated journey through prehistoric to Roman times. The highlight is the impressive collection of Nuragic bronze statuettes. Also worth seeing are the Neolithic artifacts, Punic and Roman finds. It is not so big. You will need a little bit more than one and a half hours. Recommend to visit.

Free on the first Sunday of every month, but would be well worth the cost of entry. It teaches the 5000+ year history of Sardinia and Cagliari very effectively. English and Italian displays throughout. They have recreated some artifacts for people to hold. They have also restored some artifacts using plain materials and glass/plastic to demonstrate where the fragments would be on a complete item, I think that is a very effective way of displaying these items and more museums should follow this approach.

Must visit for anyone in Sardinia, to go beyond just the beaches and the food and learn a lot about the history of the island and its people. Not too big, but quite comprehensive museum with some amazing, out of this world monuments from the Nuragic period.

I visited with my family the archeological site of Nora with a guided tour, so beautiful and interesting, and then we found here the ancient objects our guide was telling us about. Also, we went to the archeological site of Tharros for a lyrical concert, and again, we found here the Giants of Tharros. Highly recommended! And the neighborhood is beautiful, too! With nice restaurants and cafes nearby.

Nice museum if you're interested in the history of Sardinia and the Romans. We were there with our children (ages 7 and 9), but that was not appreciated by a very rude female staff member. It was clear that this rude woman did not tolerate children. A real shame, because children are exactly the ones you can teach something about history — but unfortunately, this woman didn’t think so and made that clear by staring at us with wide eyes and constantly following us around. So, if you're going with your children, be warned. If you're not with children, then it's definitely recommended.

It's a well-done museum, not as big as some of the larger cities, but very comprehensive, covering prehistory up until the Middle ages. The ramps and staircases can be a little bit confusing as you start at the most ancient and hopefully end up at the most recent. Currently it is €10.

’m not really a museum person. Still, on a sunny midday, it’s not a bad idea to slip into a pleasant one – cool air, quiet halls, and treasures of the past: ancient finds, statuettes, sculptures. This museum unfolds across several floors with hidden corners and passages and of course stairs (there are in Cagliari everywhere), so you definitely won’t get bored. And somewhere between the air conditioning and the timeless artifacts, it suddenly becomes clear why Sardinia is such a unique place you won’t find anywhere else in the world.”

Amazing museum, if you are just a little bit curious about Sardinian history this place is must have to visit.
