Genoa's Maritime Legacy
Begin your journey through time with a convenient skip-the-line entry and delve straight into Genoa's rich maritime history, without wasting a minute of your precious vacation time. Located in the heart of the city's ancient Arsenale district, this architectural marvel welcomes you with three visions of Genoa: the past, present, and future captured through art, photography, and urban design. The museum boasts a vast collection of about 4,300 objects, including historic navigation instruments and atlases, as well as two globes dating back to the 16th and 18th centuries. Not just that, the 42-meter-long reproduction of a 17th-century Genoese galley will leave you in awe of Genoa's seafaring legacy.

Relive the tales of Genoese explorers, the excitement of the Age of Sail, the bustling era of steam-powered emigration, and the tribulations of modern migrations. An engaging exhibition will also take you through the ill-fated history Andrea Doria. You haven’t got to the best part yet! Your visit also includes an exclusive access to the S-518 Nazario Sauro submarine, the world’s first museum submarine that can we visited in water. This particular submarine is a relic of Italian Navy from 1980 to 2002 and an experience like no other.
