Tips from locals
The museum was built between 1933 and 1939 to house two gigantic ships belonging to the emperor Caligola (AD 37-41) recovered from the lake between 1929 and 1931. It was therefore the first Museum in Italy to be built on the basis of the contents, two hulls with measurements of m. 71.30 x 20 and m. 73 x 24, unfortunately destroyed during a fire in 1944. Reopened in 1953, the Museum was again closed in 1962 and finally re-opened in 1988.
