Museo della città

The Museo della città occupies the Bottini dell'Olio building, displaying artworks, photographs, and archaeological finds in spacious rooms with vaulted ceilings. The collection tells the story of how this port city grew and changed over time.

The location was originally an oil storehouse from the 18th century before being transformed into a museum. This conversion allows visitors to explore history within a historic building.

The collection displays personal belongings of Garibaldi and satirical prints that show how people once viewed politics and society. These items reflect how the port shaped the identity and daily life of this city.

The museum is located in the Le Venezia district and is easy to reach. Visitors should plan their visit around regular opening hours and note that certain days may have limited access.

The collection contains three fake Modigliani heads created in 1984 as part of a famous incident in Livorno. These sculptures show the city's playful relationship with art history and creativity.
