Take a step back in time - This is an excellent way to experience the fascinating history of Sorrento. A small museum in a 2000 year old space designed and built by the gentlemen on the ticket counter, you can ‘meet’ the people from history who shaped the city over the years. You can also experience the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius! Well worth a visit.

A unique and fascinating place - We booked to visit here on a rainy afternoon based on the TripAdvisor ratings. What a great move it was. The staff were welcoming and seemed genuinely gratefully for our business, which is rare these days. The tour guide was so lovely and clearly passionate about doing her job well. We all really enjoyed the exhibition, even our teenager (which really says something). It was fascinating to hear, see and feel all of the stories coming to life in front of us. Fantastic value for money, and just the right length of time too.

Fabulous highly recommend - Fabulous visual and factual history. Vesuvius erupting totally illustrated the horror. The guide was exceptional

Great experience - Definitely recommend this experience. Great detailed information displayed in a multi media fashion alongside a guide explaining the history of Sorrento. Worth every penny.

Nice Experience - Really good museum, good information to know when you go to sorrento, interactive museum and nice people there.

Wow! I didn’t know that! - Wow well worth a visit while you are in sorrento. Very informative about how sorrento got its name by legend, all the famous people who have visited, it was worth every penny

Exceptional - Exceptional experience when we visited this museum. We had walked past it at least 3 times before deciding we should pop in and it was very interesting. We had our guide show us the exhibits and towards the end there is a mount Vesuvius eruption experience that was awesome. Definitely recommend this as a must.

Very good use of technology - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout our visit. They offered us free fans on arrival which was very helpful in the heat that travelled in from the street. The multimedia was very good and the recordings were very clear - something we had worried about due to my dad being hard of hearing. The recordings were very informative and gave us a good idea of Sorrento. I would recommend doing this trip towards the beginning of your holiday to give you a good overview of the area and ideas for ventures outside of the city. The multimedia representing what the explosion of Vesuvius would've looked was amazing. It was very well done and really helped to put into context our tour of Pompeii that we did earlier in the holiday. Although we all enjoyed this, because of the timings between all of the recordings, you had to move quickly between each section of the museum and there was not a lot of time to ask questions of take pictures in-between without missing some of the audio of the next recording. Overall, this was a good experience and we recommend anyone new to Sorrento to have a look.

Good historic information, sadly overpriced - Although a couple of the media exhibits were interesting, and the model of Sorrento was beautifully made, it was just vastly overpriced for a museum of this size and type. The owner who guided us through was friendly and knowledgeable and had the price been reasonable we would have been happy to recommend.

Save your money - The guide was good but it was pretty much all in one room. Lights just turned on and off the spotlight different displays. Really not much to see. Not as I expected from the listing
