Museum of the Inlaid Wood

Sorrento museum devoted to the town’s fine marquetry and inlaid-wood tradition.

The Museum of the Inlaid Wood focuses on one of Sorrento's signature crafts: intricate marquetry made from small pieces of coloured wood. Displays show furniture, panels, tools, and design work that explain why inlaid wood became so closely associated with the town.

It is a good short museum when you want something more local than coastal views and lemon products. The craft context also makes the souvenir shops around town easier to read with a more critical eye.
