  • One of the most amazing naval museums that I have ever seen! The collections are SPECTACULAR. On the fifth floor there is an exhibit of sea shells that is unique and most impressive. What gemstone!! Bravo!!!
  • Venice being a naval power. This is the place to be to understand the story. It’s quite comprehensive as a naval museum. Too bad Italy is not really a country known for modern navy. So, it’s mostly about medieval and historical stuffs
