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.

During Targa Florio Classica in October this year we visited this wonderful place owned by Nuccio Salemi. Nuccio immediately opens litterally all doors for you and makes you feel welcome as if you are part of his family. And to be honest, within an hour you actually ARE part of the family. What a coincidence that the artist who made the wall painting also was present. You can see him on the picture next to Nuccio. Dear Nuccio, thanks again for your warm welcome and great hospitality. Keep up the good work, and we surely will be back! Kind regards, Marcel Joris, Netherlands

A Museum that narrates the history of Anchovy, from the legend to present days, through ancient documents, tools used for fishing and salting.
Reviewed By rosannabalistreri - San Diego, United States
If you happen to be near Aspra, you cannot miss to visit the Museo delle acciughe (museum of anchovies). The props that recreate a snapshot of life in Sicily as a fisherman, the stories explained by the savvy and witty Michelangelo Balistreri together with his way of singing you through every corner of the museum with local poetry in Sicilian dialect make it all a unique and extraordinary experience. I don’t want to give you any spoilers, but if you are familiar with some of the best Sicilia cinematography, I promise you will live an emotional moment in one particular room - I know I did! Michelangelo will win you over with his incredible knowledge of facts and history paired with an outstanding sense of humor.

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.
