Galata Maritime Museum

In Evidenza

News

Liguria has returned to the "orange zone" from the February 14. Therefore, as part of the measures to combat the covid-19 outbreak, Museums and places of culture remain closed, and exhibitions in those places are suspended, until further notice.

Located in the area between the Aquarium and the Maritime Station, the Galata museum is housed in the oldest building of the old marina, the Darsena, once the Arsenal of the Republic of Genoa. Since 1590, the galleys of the Genoese fleet were built and armed here.
Today, in keeping with the past, the Galata is home to the Museum of the Sea, with an architectural reconstruction of great value designed by Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra.

Thanks to an exhibition on four floors, and an Open Air Museum with the highlight attraction the S518 Nazario Sauro Submarine – the first floating museum in Italy –, the Galata is currently the largest maritime museum in the Mediterranean. The history of the vital relationship between man and the sea is the exhibition’s recurring theme, on an area of 130,000 square feet with innovative, interactive multimedia stations, 4,300 original items, and constantly updated themes and exhibitions.
