Museo Storico dello Sbarco in Sicilia 1943

Incredible Museum that goes very in depth on the Allied Invasion of Sicily during World War Two. Everything about this museum is first class. Authentic uniforms and weapons to interact displays that very detailed. I cannot recommend this place enough. A fantastic way to spend your afternoon in Catania

What a great place to visit. It's a hidden gem. Well worth the price and it's bigger than it looks. I was taken back my the wax works inside as of all the Museums I have visited about WWII, I have never seen anything like them before. They are outstanding. Simply well worth going to.

Weird but worth a visit. Everything is presented from an almost anti-Allied-forces point of view. Several worthwhile exhibits and informational panels, and it’s much bigger than it looks from the outside. Plan on spending a couple of hours if you enjoy WWII history.

A very interesting museum for World War II history buffs. Many monuments and interesting exhibitions. A bit neglected but overall nice. The ticket price is 5 euros so it's also ok. I recommend!

A very well curated museum telling the story of Sicily during WWII with an emphasis on the events of Operation Husky. Excellent immersive experience on arrival

If you're a history buff, this museum is for you. Best spent 4 euros ever. This is seriously underrated. I had an amazing experience.

One of my favorite museums experiences. All the exhibits are well thought out and the large interactive exhibits are very engaging. It’s located in an area with other museums and there is a parking lot with a meter. For only 4 EURO this is a can’t miss experience in Catania.

This WWII museum is one of the best I have been to. It depicts the allies landing in 1943, There are multiple galleries that contain posters, artifacts, maps, interactive areas (bomb shelter was impressive!) wax figures, quaint little town showing typical Sicilian life before the war, weapons, uniforms of service branches, to name a few. It was a little hard to find - our Bolt driver pointed out the way but it took a few minutes to understand where we were supposed to go. There was a Christmas event happening nearby and luckily, someone guided us into the building and then escorted us out. If you visit Catania, this is a must-see, for sure!

We have done many WW2 museums this year, this was the first one in Italy. It did not disappoint in highlighting a part of WW2 you hear little about in the U.K. a mix of live size displays, model battle scenes, films and wax figures the history of the invasion of Sicily is told. Very good, maybe a bit too much text in Italian.

Awesome. An excellent museum. Tons of explanatory material. A very interesting subject. We spent 1-1/2 hours here. You could easily spend more time. €6 for 2

One of the better museums we have visited. Initially you are introduced to a village scene, both before and after an 'interactive' bombing raid. Lots of good dioramas from both sides of the conflict. Mostly Italian signs so have an e-translator handy.
