    This is one of those museums you might never know is there, but you should see if you are of Italian heritage. The guided tour was great and the collection of interesting facts about Italian immigration and contribution to United States is amazing.

    I went to the museum and it had art, history, and culture. I liked seeing real Italian materials and paintings. I have recognized some famous Italian Americans such Frank Sinatra. I enjoyed getting a tour and knowing what everything is inside. The guy that gave me a tour does paint for a living and has a room for them. I recommend visit the museum.

    The museum is awesome. So much Italian history and culture there. And the members are so helpful with any questions and tours, and so proud if their Italian heritage. I encourage everyone to visit!

    Love the intimate atmosphere ! The curator had a great knowledge of the history of Italian immigrants. A must-see for all Italian immigrants stopping by in Albany. It truly is a gem that immigrants can relate to their own life and experiences. Also very informative.

    I stopped in the other weekend and got a personalized tour from Joe Anastasio. He was a great tour guide and a very good artist. You can tell he is passionate about Italian culture and everything he does.

    Cramed full of Italian American immigrants memorabilia. Pay/donate to help with funding

    Don't know how to get in touch with the people who supposedly work here. Every time I stop by, no one's there. Building looks unoccupied.

    Drove 3 hours on a Saturday, arrived at 2:30 and they were closed when it says on their website open until 3:30. Huge disappointment
