Museo de Arqueología de la Universidad de Catania

Experiencia positiva: El museo es pequeño pero hay un par de piezas interesantes

Experiencia fantástica: Su historia comienza en 1898, cuando Paolo Orsi dona al Gabinete universitario de Arqueología diez hallazgos. Desde los años 20, Guido Libertini adquiere otros que formarán la colección actual. Custodia objetos que datan desde la prehistoria hasta la época medieval. En las cinco salas se pueden admirar algunas piezas de particular valor, como el modelo de embarcación con remeros, el sistro de bronce - instrumento musical que produce un sonido argentino cuando se agita - y una gran pisside con tapa de toma desmontable sobre la que se representa la ceremonia de entrega de dones a la nueva esposa. En la última sala del museo hay 78 falsificaciones, producidas con tal maestría por los falsificadores centuripinos que engañan incluso a los expertos.

Experiencia negativa: Basura. Pequeño.

Experiencia positiva: Dovrebbe essere più curato. Si presenta piccolo e visitabile in meno di 10 min. L’ingresso è gratuito e il personale cordiale.

Experiencia fantástica: The museum is very small - one large room, and is held in the department of archaeology/culture on via Biblioteca. It's a free museum. You enter through the main gate of the faculty building, the entrance is to the left. All in all it took me ten minutes to read the notice boards and explore the collection. At the end of the room, there's an interesting assembly of archaeological copies from the early XXth century, which is not very common to see in most archaeology museums.

Experiencia positiva: Interesting little museum inside the university. Great to see all the fake copy or reproductions (whatever you want to call them). I’d never seen something like this before

Experiencia positiva: I really would like to put here more stars as the museum has very friendly staff and has a great potential but... There are really but two rooms of it. Sure they are filled with interesting findings dating from the earliest settlement findings to Greek and Roman times if you into ceramics (I am, this is not a sarcasm), and you can read some interesting facts regarding Catania settlement and some more general ones. But seriously... two rooms in the place that is literally build on such a gigantic excavation site? And why just till Romans? There was plenty of history here later as well, as much interesting. And even for the part that is on the display: people are living in Catania for millennia, I am kinda sure there is more to show than two relatively small rooms. Don't get me wrong: if you into history and archaeology it is still worth to visit. Just if you are really into it you probably expect a vast and reach exposition that will take you for the journey through time for the whole day the least, not less than hour... No entrance fee is a plus of course, but I would really gladly pay to see what you keep in the storage here!

Experiencia fantástica: Bellissimo con reperti unici ❤️ consigliato!! Si trova presso il palazzo Ingrassia di piazza Dante

Experiencia fantástica: Incantevole!
