Museo del Mare, Maritime museum in Castello di Milazzo, Italy.
The museum exhibits marine life displays and contains a 10-meter sperm whale skeleton named Siso within the Santa Maria Bastion of Milazzo Castle.
The museum, which opened in August 2019, emerged from the discovery of a sperm whale entangled in illegal fishing nets near the Aeolian Islands in 2017.
The exhibition space follows a three-room layout representing inferno, purgatory, and paradise, connecting marine science with artistic installations about ocean conservation.
Visitors should note that while the museum maintains wheelchair accessibility, movement through certain parts of the historical castle structure remains limited.
The museum displays the actual fishing net that caused Siso's death alongside plastic waste found in its stomach, creating direct evidence of marine pollution.
