Yes, a fabulous experience of a visit on a rainy Sunday. Purchase tickets inside at book shop and then self guide through the excellent exhibits. Pottery from ancient Greece, Apulia and pre Italy. A riled floor you can walk over via glass walkway, very spooky but interesting. Upstairs is some really old stuff like 8000 BC and older, Copper Age and other cool stuff. We didn't go outside as it was raining but that part looks interesting as well.

This museum is well worth the visit. The building is a former monastery, set right by the sea in the Old Town. It gives you a good perspective on the history of the area and the artifacts that have been uncovered in the region, covering 7000 years, all well presented and unique. The displays are over 2 floors with signs in English as well. There are also interactive videos which are good.
