Museo Navale e Planetario di Imperia
About This Museum
Did you know this museum sits right on the ancient Roman port of Portus Maurici? It’s a place where the history of seafaring and the mysteries of the cosmos collide under one roof. You can almost hear the echoes of sailors in one room, then look up to find yourself navigating the stars in the next. It’s a wonderfully unexpected journey from the deep sea to deep space, all tucked away on the Ligurian coast.
Collection Highlights
Maritime halls are packed with intricate ship models, historic nautical instruments, and artifacts from local sailing traditions. The real showstopper is the planetarium, where you embark on a guided tour of the night sky, perfectly complementing the earthly voyages detailed below.
Visitor Information
You'll find it right on Calata Anselmi, easy to spot by the water. It's a fantastic spot for a curious family or anyone with a thirst for adventure, and it seems everyone who finds it leaves thoroughly impressed.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a handsome, early 20th-century building that feels like it's built into the very fabric of the old port, its unassuming exterior gives little hint of the vast explorations waiting inside.
