Museum Acqui Division
About This Museum
People come here to understand the incredible story of the Acqui Division, an Italian force that made a tragic and heroic stand on this very island during WWII. You'll walk through rooms filled with personal artifacts—faded letters, uniforms, and photographs that make the history feel immediate and deeply human. It’s a small but powerful museum that focuses on a single, poignant chapter of the war, one that's not widely known. The experience is quiet and reflective, leaving you with a profound sense of the cost of conflict and a connection to the individuals who lived it.
Collection Highlights
Personal items from soldiers like their handwritten letters and military gear; detailed maps and photographs documenting their presence in Kefalonia.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find right on the main waterfront street (Diadochou Konstantinou) in Argostoli. Don't expect a huge, flashy place—it's compact and you can see it all in under an hour, which makes it a perfect, meaningful stop during a stroll through town.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a simple, unassuming building that blends in with the other structures along the port; it feels more like a local house than a formal institution.
