👍👍 Pretty spectacular museum of you consider what they’re actually doing and working on. Things over 2000 years old.

    (Translated by Google) I gave only three stars because if the part of the finds and the rooms of the ships are well maintained and with the possibility of multimedia explanations, especially for the descriptions and findings of the Punic ship, the state of almost abandonment in which they are found leaves much to be desired. the remains of the ancient city. I do not think herbs and shrubs on the finds, deteriorated descriptions, protective constructions made on the ancient mosaics are the ideal setting for this corner of history. (Original) Ho dato solo tre stelle perché se la parte dei ritrovamenti e le sale delle navi sono curate e con la possibilità anche di spiegazioni multimediali, soprattutto per le descrizioni e i ritrovamenti della nave punica, lascia molto a desiderare lo stato di quasi abbandono in cui si trovano i resti dell'antica città. Erbe e arbusti sui reperti, descrizioni ammalorate, costruzioni di protezione fatte sugli antichi mosaici non credo siano la cornice ideale per questo angolo di storia.

    Inside is excellent, with english explanations. The outside areas feels abandoned and not interesting. In summer I would go in the late afternoon.

    The staff was very unfriendly to us, as non Italians. They did not even say hello when we came in and didn't even try to help us understand anything. We felt like a burdon to them, disrupting their coffee break. The museum is modern from the inside, but a disaster from the outside. We would not recommend it to anyone.

    Pretty spectacular museum of you consider what they’re actually doing and working on. Things over 2000 years old. The two ships they’ve recovered thus far (at least in part) are really impressive to think about. The architecture from so long ago was still great. There’s also a lot of history about the city and the ruins underneath that used to be the city. 4€ per person, well worth the price of admission.

    Not open 2-7pm despite what it said, save yourself a very hot walk

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful experience, if you pass by Marsala I recommend you to see it. If you are an architecture student you don't pay the ticket, I recommend the green pass, they perfectly observe the laws, I suggest you visit it in a period where there is not much sun to see the excavations. (Original) Bellissima esperienza, se passate da marsala vi consiglio di vederlo. Se siete studenti di architettura non pagate il biglietto, mi raccomando il green pass, li osservano perfettamente le leggi, vi consiglio di visitarlo in un periodo dove non c'è molto sole per vedere gli scavi.

    Pretty cool salvaged and reconstructed shipwrecks. Various other naval items on display, worth a quick visit if you're in the area.

  • 2/5 anias 9. 11 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately I can't say its worth the money. Maybe free entrance or symbolic like 1€ would change the rating to higher but for me it was not worth it. The building is very small, toilets are disgusting and smell really bad. The worst part is outside because lawn was very neglected, grass was very high and you would never know what can jump out of it, there were a lot of lizards everywhere. The signs are poorly deployed so you don't really know if there is something interesting there or not . Definitely can't recommend, maybe if the outside would be more taken care of. Instead of nice time we were terrified and had to very fast find the way inside. From good side the boat is worth seeing

  • 5/5 Artful D. 7 months ago on Google
    I'm giving this a 5 star because it's a little treasure. Unfortunately it's clearly under appreciated and underfunded. It is well worth a visit. €4 for some incredible mosaic and a brilliant example of a Roman ship displayed in a way you can walk through. Please visit and support this little gem as it could do with an injection of funds and since the top 1% are unlikely to donate; an increase in visitors would definitely help.

  • 5/5 anna maria M. 1 year ago on Google
    Personale gentile e competente. Pet friendly. Location fantastica. Unfortunately there are a lot of rubbish in the surroundings as always and everywhere in Sicily. Marsala is the most beautiful town in the western Sicily. It worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Gonçalo G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience! One of the most amazing roman museums I've ever visited, with great presentation and for a very cheap price! A must visit!

  • 5/5 Veronica G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very interesting museum, well worth a visit

  • 4/5 Stefano C. 1 year ago on Google
    Open till 7pm, I saw here the remains of a roman house and spa and the remains of a boat from Carthago.

  • 5/5 Diana �. 1 year ago on Google
    Very interesting and modern museum

  • 5/5 Tony P. 1 year ago on Google
    This museum is very much worth stopping at. Far exceeded expectations. The ship which is the main attraction is well presented but there is much more to this museum. Numerous artifacts dating back centuries BC. Large grounds with ancient site. Paths are easy to walk and artifacts well described. Very inexpensive entry fee.

  • 3/5 giuseppe e. 3 years ago on Google
    Must be developed

  • 1/5 G 4 years ago on Google
    No address, no website, no phone shameless FB page, no signage.

  • 5/5 Bridget W. 4 years ago on Google
    Magnificent museum displaying a vast array of significant BC archeological treasures and the remains of Roman battle ships. Go there

  • 5/5 Wojciech K. 1 year ago on Google
    the punic and roman ships are gorgeous, also the whole museum is amazing. for a small price of 2/4 euro (depending on your age) its MUST SEE in Marsala

  • 5/5 Lola_ A. 3 years ago on Google
    Come and see it immediately 《😂》. It's really, really nice (Look at Photos) - (It's just a little taste) 《😍》. ▪︎ They have added new contacts. ▪︎The Punic ship is HUGE and BEAUTIFUL.

  • 5/5 Oreste G. 1 year ago on Google
    A very well presented exhibit of the restored punic ship.

  • 5/5 Elena R. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Really complete museum. In addition to the remains of the Punic ship there is really a lot, both in the rooms and outside. In fact, I suggest not stopping only at the museum, but also taking a nice walk up to the Roman peak. (Original) Museo veramente completo. Oltre ai resti della nave punica c'è veramente tantissimo, sia nelle sale che esteriormente. Suggerisco infatti di non fermarsi al solo museo,a farsi anche una bella passeggiata fino all'insùla romana.

😠 As beautiful as it is - as terrible the service was. We called to make a reservation but they told us that it is not required. We arrived at the place and they told us that that the area we wanted to sit was requiring reservations. A lady with a pink shirt spoke in a very rude and disrespectful way...

👍 Great guide who shared a ton of interesting historical information. Fun to see the barrels larger than anything we'd ever seen before. Super lame they only let us try 3 wines with prepackaged snacks for 20 euros. In a smaller Cantina we'd tried ~15 wines for 10 euros and bought many more bottles s...
