Nestled within the storied Old Port of this Adriatic city, the Sea Museum opens its doors for a free guided tour on Saturday, November 23 at 11:00 AM. The tour, part of the Scientific Museums’ initiative “Learning While Strolling”, will be led by curator Andrea Bonifacio and offers visitors an immersive dive into maritime history.
Housed in the historic Warehouse 26, now part of the revitalized Porto Vivo district, the Sea Museum serves as a testament to Trieste’s deep connection with the sea. From ancient nautical tools to modern maritime innovations, the museum provides a window into the city’s rich naval heritage.
Participation in this exclusive event is free, but reservations are required. Visitors are encouraged to secure their spot by emailing museomare@comune.trieste.it no later than 12:00 PM on Friday, November 22.
This initiative underscores Trieste’s commitment to fostering cultural engagement, transforming casual strolls into opportunities for discovery. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply curious, this is a rare chance to explore the maritime soul of one of Italy’s most enchanting cities.
Warehouse 26: A Landmark of Renewal
The Sea Museum’s location in Warehouse 26 adds a layer of significance. This structure, once a bustling hub of trade in the Old Port, has been reimagined as a cultural anchor of Porto Vivo. Its blend of industrial charm and contemporary exhibitions makes it a must-visit for both locals and tourists.
