The Ligurian Archaeological Museum in Pegli traces the region's deep past, from prehistoric Liguria through Roman material and wider Mediterranean collections. Its location in the Villa Durazzo Pallavicini area makes it feel different from Genoa's central palaces and waterfront museums.
It is worth the trip west of the centre for travellers interested in archaeology or those already visiting Pegli. The museum adds useful historical depth to a city better known for maritime power, merchant palaces, and dense medieval streets.
