I was in Livorno for a day and I've visited the Museum. Went for the Banksy exhibition. You can enjoy a coffee at the cafeteria after.

3 stars

The normal exhibition was removed or covered for photo exhibition for the Italians military school ship.

5 stars

An hidden jewel (like very many things in Italy, unfortunately) perfectly displaying the surpringly amazing history of Livorno, among the most important Mediterranean harbours of the Renaissance and the "beauty" of the early '900. Friendliest staff ever. Nice, very nice. An awesome 90 minutes visit. Please keep it up !!!
