We loved our visit to Mulino ad Acqua. Each unique space gives you a great insight into the history of the area and how people lived there. Seeing the mill in action and operated the latest in many generations of millers who have worked there is really fascinating.

Who would have imagined that a cinema museum in Catania, Sicily, would be so interesting and enjoyable! While the museum provides historical context for the development of cinema (in a clever series of exhibits), the real fun of the museum lies in its lush pseudo movie sets of settings (dining room, kitchen, bar, library, bath, dance hall and more) in which screens present scenes from famous movies that pertain to the set. For example, the dance floor presented dance scenes from famous movies, such as from Singing in the Rain. I loved the scene of Jeff Bridges in his bathtub from The Big Lebowski from the bath set; the library set included the scene of Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein as the library shelf-door swings around to trap him, and the garage scene featured famous car scenes, including car chases such as the mash up at the end of The Blues Brothers. This is only a minimal sampling of the hundreds of scenes chosen to fit with each of the sets. We spent over two hours of sheer enjoyment in this museum.
