Museo Falcone-Borsellino presso Il tribunale di Palermo
About This Museum
It might surprise you that one of Italy's most powerful museums isn't in a grand palazzo, but tucked inside a working courthouse. This is the Museo Falcone-Borsellino, a space that pulses with the memory of the two legendary magistrates who walked these very halls. You don't just see exhibits here; you feel the weight of history in the quiet, purposeful air. It’s a deeply moving tribute to their fight for justice, right where they worked.
Collection Highlights
The most chilling artifact is Giovanni Falcone's bloodstained judicial robe, displayed without fanfare. Nearby, Paolo Borsellino's personal diary sits open to his final entry. You'll also see the wreckage of their armored car from the Capaci bombing, a stark, metallic scar that speaks louder than any plaque ever could.
Visitor Information
Since it's inside the Palazzo di Giustizia, you'll need to go through security just like everyone else coming to court—it’s part of the experience. Check their hours ahead of time as they can be subject to the building's operational needs.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in the modern, formidable Palazzo di Giustizia, a building that feels more like a fortress than a palace, which seems fitting for its solemn purpose.
