  • A provincial baroque palace a far cry from its supposed models of Genoese style with low-quality frescoes and painting and a passable collection of musical instruments. Nothing memorable.

  • Worth a 15-20 minute visit. Honestly, the best view is from just outside the entrance. But, there is an interesting collection of musical instruments, and the building itself has some character.

  • It is a hidden jewel! We loved it! The museum has an impressive collection of baroque instruments and it is beautiful. It costs 5€ for adults and kids can go in for free. We spent a nice time looking at all the impressive details in the walls and the instruments were just amazing!
  • Extremely picturesque little museum in the well preserved baroque mansion of the noble Lascaris family. Beautiful collection of musical instruments spanning multiple centuries. Excellent ceiling murals in the upstairs living quarters.Well worth a visit.
