A lovely museum with helpful information in Italian and English. If you are into architecture and archeology, this is the perfect place for you. I've been in lots of museum in Palermo and some museum have poor organization like light from the wrong side of a painting, lack of information or imbalance between the exhibition space itself and work of art. Since Sicilia have tons of beautiful and meaningful heritage and work of art I always enjoyed my museum tour but cannot say that it was satisfying every time. Some places definitely need to improve their lazy display which is not suitable for such a beautiful legacy. BUT Museo Salinas has very well organized exhibition which you can enjoy and concentrate every second. Amazing. AND you can find cute magnet made from marble(€4.9) in the store so do not waste your money on cheap and ugly made in factory magnet nearby major attractions. You can find the entrance in the back of the building and no, that Greek-temple-like building is not the museum you are looking for. That is a post office.

This museum is absolutely stunning. The collection includes some unique pieces and the way they are displayed is really amazing. The museum is undergoing restoration and they're doing a great job with the exhibition design and lighting. It is currently possible to visit the ground floor only. I was a bit taken aback by a member of the personnel that basically kicked me out 20 minutes before the closing time because he had decided that he was going to close early as "no one was there". Besides that I really enjoyed my visit.

The Palermo stone absolutely saved this place from getting 1 star. The building is nice but it is not well kept. There are weeds growing out of the terrazzo in the cloister, the floors in both cloisters could do with being swept and I put this down to the staff that were sitting around smoking and talking about how they typically eat at restaurants. Did I mention they were smoking?.... inside a historic building that is one of palermos oldest museums...just do better guys.

We came here on a Sunday, the lady at the ticket counter was very nice, (they also have a breakfast deal for 1.5 Euro extra.) So get a coffee and a croissant and be ready to be amazed by the artifacts of ancient Sicily. It is fascinating to see the architectural, burial, and everyday artifacts of the Greek, Roman, Phonecian and other civilisations that thrived on this island. It is worth the admission and the experience, choose this over the Norman castle ;)

I would highly recommend visiting this museum, especially if you have an interest in ancient history. They have a rich collection of artifacts and provide good insight into the greek and roman history of Sicily. The exhibition setup allows for free exploration and there are also charming courtyards to relax in. The museum is also air conditioned and children under 18 can enter for free. This place is well worth visiting while in Palermo.

A very interesting museum both regarding the building but also the exhibits. However at the same time there were some grotesque mostly wooden creations spread among the beauty of the ancient findings, probably as part of a simultaneous exhibition of some kind of modern art.. I don't think it was the appropriate location or way of organizing it. Unless the point was to somehow stress the contemporary flirt with ugliness..
