I am so glad that I made time to visit the tile museum while staying in Palermo. It was unique and enchanting. The guide gave the visitors an overview of the history and content of the collection and answered questions. Following, you can stay as long as you like to enjoy the beauty of the collection. The apartment is located in central Palermo and I found it easily using Google Maps. Being a private apartment in a residential setting, the sights and sounds of the Sicilian summer afternoon wafted in while I enjoyed drifting from room to room, examining the tile collection, the frescoes, and the owner’s other collections, all beautifully curated and displayed. The owner’s four cats lazed around the home and enjoyed the attention of the visitors. I spent about an hour. I came as a walk-in, but it probably would have been better to buy a ticket ahead of time so the guide can expect you at a certain time. Price of the ticket was very reasonable. I highly recommend this museum to any lovers of design, ceramics, and the decorative arts! Bravo!

Simoly best place in Palermo. You probably see it being promoted, but I am so glad I accidentally beard about it on a podcast. Visit is a must, schedule is a bit unusual but it is so worth it. I suggest coming as early as you can, because there is just so much you can see. Ask guides the questions! They are very eager to answer and tell more.

What a hidden gem!! Couldn’t recommend this private collection of colourful art & history. Tucked away in a historical residential building, you enter the owner’s house to admire his vast and beautiful collection of tiles dating back from the 1400s. Each tile hand painted and telling the story and transformation of colours and techniques over time in southern Italy. The guided tour was perfect, offered both in English and Italian, and afterward you can take your time to enjoy the space and art at your own pace. A unique corner of the city ❤️

We visited this interesting place today and it was such an great tour. I 100% recommend. The guide was very nice, patient (as well as the lady who was selling the tickets) and informative. Bonus points for the absolutely adorable cat.

Wonderful private collection hidden in the middle of Palermo! For 10€ we got into the collectors private apartment and were led through all the rooms and through the short history of tile art. Highly recommend!⭐️

Wonderful guided tour of beautiful tiles. Our guide, a member of the family, was kind and knowledgeable. The passion for his collection was a highlight of our time in Palermo. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Amazing private museum, with really knowledgeable guides who will answer any question. This place is worth visiting and supporting, not only for the tiles, but for the little collections, beautiful ceilings and photogenic cats too. Great experience 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We thoroughly enjoyed seeing this private collection of amazing tiles. The whole experience was so positive. We called in advance but I guess we could have just showed up. We got a short individual tour (very informative) and then we were allowed to wander around on our own. It’s a beautiful collection in a private apartment that the owner lives in still. Loved it! Highly recommended!
