Museo del mare, Maritime museum in Arsenale Borbonico, Palermo, Italy.
The museum occupies a rectangular building with six sealed arches on the ground floor and classical windows adorning the upper level.
The Arsenale building, designed by architect Mariano Smiriglio, served as a maritime shipyard from 1630 to 1943 before becoming a museum in 1997.
The museum displays traditional maritime equipment, including fishing nets, foghorns, lamps, and technical navigation books known as portolani.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, offering free entry while guided tours require a 2 euro contribution.
The exhibition includes two cannons from 1781-1785 and a FIAT engine from the 1909 Medusa submarine among its maritime artifacts.
