Welcome to Museum
Knowledge is an adventure of the spirit that can be lived by those who are well prepared to look especially among books or in a museum.
In a museum like this, everyone can give wings to the imagination and enter into the immense universe of the sea; because the sea is the oldest source of life, is the horizon on the mystery, is an open door on the dreams that reflect on water. The objects it contains will animate and enchantment for the adventurous becomes Captain Nemo, navigator Colombo, the fisherman Achab, the child Peter Pan, the practical engineer and guests of this Museum become all Captains!
