I'm not sure how a museum can be so unassuming from the outside yet is a real gem inside. There is only a small name on the buzzer to enter but what lies inside is wall to wall ceramic tiles and also displays of vintage pieces and furniture. Entrance fee included a personal guided tour in english or italian. A wonderful experience.

Il museo dei Pupi della famiglia Canino, nasce per la divulgazione e la conservazione di un'arte antica , popolare siciliana che ha visto i natali nel lontano 1826 dalle abili mani di Don Liberto Canino , capostipite di questa famiglia di artisti che creò la prima armatura metallica palermitana. Con la scomparsa dell'ultimo puparo Nino Canino, lo scorso 11 aprile del 2015, la nuova realtà museale , permetterà a queste splendide creature I PUPI DI NINO CANINO, di continuare a dare lustro a coloro che hanno per tutta la loro vita condiviso le sorti dei PALADINI DI FRANCIA.

8. Palazzo Butera
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 55 reviews
Palazzo Butera, bought by Francesca and Massimo Valsecchi in 2016 with the aim of creating a versatile center for arts and culture in Palermo, starts a first phase of contact with the city. Cantiere Aperto – which means literally “open building site” – is an initiative that allows the public to visit the area where the renovation works are being completed. The palace is an open laboratory, drawing together history, arts and culture in an interdisciplinary exercise aimed at finding solutions for social development. Open to the city of Palermo and the world beyond, the ground floor will offer a reference library and many galleries for temporary exhibitions from both home and abroad. The first floor contains conference and events rooms. The second floor will accommodate a museum, displaying the Valsecchi art collection. Today most of the renovation has been completed. Only the second floor is still under restoration, but it will be completed in a few months.

Reviewed By krokodil1986
An excellent art gallery of mainly countryside scenes and portraits by local artists from 20th century, presented in a spacious palazzo. There was absolutely no one else viewing on our visit. There is also a bar and cafe with garden outside seating. Well worth a visit and one does not get overdosed by biblical iconography one sees in all the churches anyway.
