Galata Museo del Mare

This is a well curated museum with very interesting exhibits. The best part was being able to walk through the submarine. I went on a weekend, it was pretty busy. But the museum is so large it's fine once you get passed the first floor.

This was a fantastic experience for my family and I. It had just started raining when we arrived, so we were glad of the shelter. The museum has an amazing amount of historical significant pieces, and some really exotic machinery to view. Well worth a visit

Nice spot to explore and learn about naval history. Gallery has to-scale ships and also many interactive spaces. You can also go inside a decommissioned submarine. There is a nice view of the Genova area at the top of the gallery.

Galata Museo del Mare is an absolute must-visit for history and maritime enthusiasts alike. Located in the heart of Genoa, this museum offers a fascinating journey through the city’s rich maritime heritage. The exhibits are incredibly well-curated, blending historical artifacts, interactive displays, and multimedia presentations. The life-size galley is a highlight, giving a vivid sense of what life was like aboard these magnificent vessels. The section on migration is particularly moving, offering an immersive experience that transports you to the journey of those who crossed oceans in search of a better life. The rooftop terrace provides stunning panoramic views of Genoa’s harbor—worth the visit alone! The museum is family-friendly, with plenty to engage children and adults alike.

Tons of interesting stuff, from ships, submarines all the way to immigration, it's great even if you are just a little bit interested in maritime transport.

The museum is quite big. It consist of 4 levels with each floor has a different stor in which youre directed to have a tour route to enjoy all the story it host some colombus history, the genovese role, italian immigration around the world, and a replica how the ship looked like in the past. If youre scared of narrow space, id suggest to skip the submarine experience. Note: im a bit confused how to find the exit door at the end of the route.

It is good maritime museum dated from beginning of ship development industry to the current status

So beautiful place,and an interesting museum, historical maps and objects and lot of nautical information

The museum is very clean and put together. There some in English as well as an indoor 17th century ship you can go into. There is also a sub you can enter as well.
