MUSEO D'AUMALE

Housed in the former palace of the Duke of Aumale, alias Henri d'Orléans, son of Louis-Philippe, King of France, and Marie-Amélie de Bourbon, this remarkable and attractive museum is structured around three collections. The archaeological section focuses on boats, with Roman shipwrecks found on the coast, and presents a summary of Sicilian history. The natural history section presents the birds and insects that populate Sicily and collections of minerals. The ethno-anthropological section is a museum of the Sicilian cart.
