The third floor of the Galata Museo del Mare is almost entirely dedicated to “migration” with the exhibit MeM Memory & Migration. The installation reconstructs the journey experienced by 29 million Italians between the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, visitors experience this history through reconstructions, testimonies and over forty multimedia installations, many of which are interactive. The section was inaugurated on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy.
