They had a great selection of all sorts of well cooked foods and you help yourself, which is great when your Italian is rudimentary or if you don't eat meat and still want something nice to eat.

The medieval section was well done, but I believe it is a visiting exhibition. The permanent collection was different. While there were multiple problems with this museum, including the high temperature on the top floors, and the lack of historical context, explanatory material and analysis provided to visitors, the main reason I'm writing this review is to warn anyone with mobility or balance issues that it is not accessible. It has a main stairway for accessing the second and third floor that is meant to be a modern design, but is really just a series of large, unsafe, slanted, slick pieces of marble. Please be safe. I really hope this review can help someone who would be hurt by that stairway, to avoid this museum. There are many more, excellent museums in Genova.
