Things to Do Olbia

Archaeological Museum of Olbia

A museum so dedicated to preserving and celebrating the seafaring history of Sardinians that it's shaped like a ship.

Overview

A short walk from the old port in Olbía, a town in north-eastern Sardinia, you'll find the Archaeological Museum of Olbía. Given the city's seaside location — and that it is home to the largest number of Roman shipwrecks in Italy — the museum is designed like a ship, complete with portholes and hanging walkways.

Journey through the museum's exhibits, which highlight an exhaustive collection of artefacts and historical documents from Phoenician, Greek, Punic and Roman history up until modern times.
