"A relaxing oasis in the city centre which offers friendly service from staff who obviously want to ensure that your experience here is memorable. The dishes served are carefully prepared and full of flavour, boasting the occasional modern touch yet also inspired by local traditions. Try the "Capricciosa vista mare": toasted black bread with capers and oregano served with red prawn, dried tomato, artichokes, basil and buffalo mozzarella mousse." - Michelin Inspector

Great experience, the exhibition was interesting and I got a private tour in English from a very sweet lady - I highly recommend this museum! She showed me the library, the storage used during the time this place used to be a pawn shop for the whole city of Palermo, the house of the family that lived here...

Great museum, very nice place, excellent selection of Sicilian history - pottery, coins, stamps, huge library. You cannot just walk up and buy a ticket. There are guided tours at certain times of the day. They may list tour times somewhere but we couldn’t find them on line.

I went there mostly because of the display of the oldest Palermitan "Pupi" mariomettes from Cuticchio Theatre family The display is set in several rooms that once were a huge storage back when the palace was a pawn shop.

Extremely well organised must visit. Tour takes 45 minutes with a guide. Tours start at every half hours, you need to plan accordingly. Such an interesting history piece.

Please, visit this place. The library is beautiful. The puppets are magic. The wooden details in the old pawnshop are fantastic. Just go there.

Lovely museum. Just wish they had a English speaking guide, or at least something written in English.

This is a private museum, only able to be visited by guided tours of approx 40 minutes at set times. The tours are in Italian with only minimal English information. You cannot visit and browse at your leisure unless you only wish to see the archaeological display on the ground floor price €3. None of this information appears to be available on their website which is disappointing. The staff were happy to explain this information.
