★★★★★a year agoDefinitely worth a visit! The staff is very friendly and it’s free of charge! Great selection of ancient artifacts - my son who is only four, very much enjoyed it as well!

★★★★★3 years agoAn impressive museum in Palazzo Davia Bargelini. The building was constructed in 1638 and houses all the art and household decorative items (glassware, wood sculpture, pictures, etc) owned by the Bargelini family. The carriage in the last room that was owned by a cardinal was especially impressive. Free entry!
