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.
