Great little museum in Toscanini's birthplace where we were able to learn more about his personal history as well as how his life interacted with the history of his times. It was a special treat that the docent gave us a guided tour and had an incredible amount of information and interesting anecdotes to share. Definitely recommend it, not just for music lovers but for anyone interested in history, and also as a change of pace from the more traditional tourist sites. Also - admission is free!

Because these works require close-up attention to all the fascinating details, we only managed half of the Hokusai show in London. Exhaustion set in, so we were surprised and delighted to have an opportunity to continue. It has all the famous prints, 36 views of Fuji, inc the Great Wave. Half the show is Hiroshige, who was less well-known to us. Not as funny as Hokusai, but equally fascinating. We managed to see the pre-historic collection, some of which was really well presented and explained, including the Palaeolithic and the Etruscan, but some wasn't explained at all. Never got to the Roman stuff.

Marie Louise of Austria, Empress of France as second wife of Napoleon, after his fall was destined to Parma, small but strategic Duchy. There she became an attentive and caring sovereign, still beloved nowadays. Her magnificent collections and memorabilia both from the Empire and the Ducal period passed to her daughter's family, from which Glauco Lombardi bought them aiming to found a Museum which finally opened in 1961. It is thus possible to discover her inner sensibility along with the events that transformed Europe in the XIX century, experiencing the art and life of that era.

I was really amazed with the exhibits in the museum, such variety and focus on the history of the region. The mosaics are incredible and a must to see the exhibit of the finds in Domus di Chirurgo, entrance fee includes the Domus site nearby. Staff were very helpful.
