The museum houses the materials recovered from the archaeological excavations of the necropoleis around Populonia, carried out during the first half of the 20th century. It also showcases a rather diverse body of objects recovered out-of-context from both the sea and land around Baratti.

Really enjoyed this museum that told the fascinating history of Livorno, which helped contextualise a lot of the sights of the city. Great contemporary art space as well, so you can enjoy everything from Neolithic finds to award winning art of the modern day.

The official residence of Napoleon and his sister Paolina. The palace contains many personal items and other relics of the period.
Napoleon was detained here in 1814, and joined by his sister Pauline. His rooms are on display with access to the gardens overlooking the sea. When I was there, several townspeople were dressed in period time clothing, which added a nice touch. There are some nice portraits of Napoleon and the furniture was mostly made in Lucca. Definitely worth a visit. You need to climb some stairs to get up to the buildings.
