More than 11,000 items, organized in 12 different collections, emphasise the variety of ways in which Beethoven's Myth and legacy affected countless forms of Art. Through a 10-rooms guided tour, within a unique and fascinating atmosphere, you rediscover the allure and fascination of sculptures, paintings, art prints, antique and contemporary books and editions, historical documents, objets d'art, ex libris and medals, the world of postcards, stamps and picture cards, advertising, kitsch and much more besides.

I cannot understand why some people are so negative about Muggia. Maybe they expect it to be some sort of jazzed up town like Monte Carlo. But Muggia isn't like that. It's just a little relaxed fishing port, 20 minutes by boat across the Bay from Trieste; and it makes a delightful day-trip from that city. Four of us took the trip to Muggia in October 2019. We caught the ferry (which departs hourly from Trieste's Bersaglieri Pier ... costs 8 euros per person return - get your tickets on the ferry). We cast off at 9.15am. Our ferry chugged sedately out of Trieste, giving us great views of that city from the water. It glided past Trieste's container port, then past the coal port, and finally across the bay to Muggia yacht harbour. We disembarked just two minutes walk from the town centre, so it was an easy stroll to the town's little shops, bars and restaurants. On the day we went, there was a big weekly market in Muggia, so although it's not a big town - there was plenty to look at while we strolled around for a couple of hours. Then we walked to the Molo Colombo (where the local fishing boats tie up) and climbed a flight of stairs (there's also a wheelchair lift) to the open-air terrace of Ittitourismo La Terrazza (a Fisherman's Cooperative restaurant) where the pleasant staff fed us fresh seafood like Fritto Misto and Spaghetti alle Vongole for very reasonable prices while we enjoyed the view over the town, and watched fishermen bringing their little boats into the mole to unload their daily catch. (If you don't like open-air restaurants, there is a covered section where you can keep out of the sun or wind or rain while still enjoying the views). After our leisurely lunch, we strolled back through Muggia to the ferry wharf, and caught the boat back to Trieste. We all agreed this was a very enjoyable Day Trip. It cost us very little, and the fisherman's co-op restaurant provided us with a delicious seafood lunch and good views at a reasonable price. As good as anything we found in Trieste itself. We thoroughly recommend this day trip to Muggia. Obviously some people come here expecting too much ... but we expected a quiet little fishing port and yacht harbour, with good fresh seafood restaurants and a few shops, and a small slice of history in its church, town square, narrow streets and local architecture ... and that's exactly what we got on our day trip. We all agreed it was an enjoyable worthwhile day-trip. And while you're looking around Muggia, look for the Lions of St Mark on several town buildings ... indicating that the Serene Republic of Venice once ruled here.

Disclaimer: I have a weakness for medieval churches. I'm attracted by the exterior architecture, the commonality in their shapes, the use of the interior space to create a sense of wonder, the stained glass and the pipe organs. The Duomo dei SS. Giovanni e Paolo, while not the most amazing in these regards, still had the things I admire. If medieval churches are your thing, so is this Duomo.
